How to: Customize Console Window Position in Windows

How to Customize Console Window Position in Windows


A console (or "terminal) is an application that provides I/O to character-mode applications.

For example: Linux

This tutorial will show you how to customize the default window position a console window (ex: command prompt, PowerShell, Linux) opens at by default for your account in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.

*note If you set a custom console window position for a command prompt, it will only be applied to the specific console window shortcut that opened it.

For example, command prompt opened via Win+X menu VS Run (Win+R) dialog. Each location would have its own settings.



Here's How:

1. Open a Linux console window you want using the shortcut or location you want to apply a custom window position to.

2. Do step 3 (default system position) or step 4 (custom position) below for what you want to do.


3. To Let System Position Window for Console Window
*note This is the default setting.
A) Right click or press and hold on the title bar of the console window, and click/tap on Properties. (see screenshot below)



B) Click/tap on the Layout tab, check the Let system position windows box, click/tap on OK, and go to step 5 below. (see screenshot below)




4. To Set Custom Window Position for Console Window
A) Move the console window window to the position you want on your display.

B) Right click or press and hold on the title bar of the console window, and click/tap on Properties. (see screenshot below)



C) Click/tap on the Layout tab, uncheck the Let system position windows box if it's not already unchecked, click/tap on OK, and go to step 5 below. (see screenshot below)



5. When finished, you can close the command prompt if you like.


That's it,
Shawn

Feature suggestion: Remember window position

I suggest for GPU-Z to save its window position on exiting/starting again. Most similar programs have this - please add!

For example, I want to move GPU-Z to my 2nd monitor, and have it keep that position after I close it and run it again.
An example of a program that has this is Core Temp - I use Core Temp to track my CPU temps, and use GPU-Z to track my videocard temps.
RealTemp has it too.

(Sorry if this has been brought up before...
Core Temp has a small bug with the window position when using 2 monitors, but its author will be fixing that too.)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
