Windows 10: Remember window position?

I didn't touch my taskbar; so it is still in the initial place at the bottom.
Please see attached zip file with Step by step recording i just made. Note time stamp.

Thanks

 

yes, it always appears in the same place vertically because your window is the entire height of the screen. However, if you look closely, when you re-opened the window, it opened slightly to the right of where you closed it.

Try making the window half the size, then open and close it repeatedly, notice how it "crawls" across the screen.

 

I capture the sequence on video. This time i didn't make the File Explorer Window take the entire height on the screen.
On my main system, i just like to have the File Explorer window be a certain Size, then i put it left or right so that it always open the same size on left or on the right. Plus any extra window will have the same Size and i can move it where i want.
I don't spend time resizing the whole thing every time i log in.

Maybe you or someone here could make something out of the "findings".

Please see attached Vid.

Thanks

 

I don't know what you think you're seeing in that video, but it demonstrates the problem. Your window crawls all over the screen every time you open it. I don't see how you can sit there and say you solved the problem when your own video shows it!

The problem is not the size of the window, that gets remembered. The *POSITION* of the window moves every time you open it.

 

Sorry if misread the initial problem as well as misleading the readers.

 

and here I come thinking " yippee, something found a fix" *Banghead

Really strange issue, one of my systems with W 10 Pro x64, clean install, all windows are opening in the middle of the screen, no problem, to be honest I did not try to reposition and watch the behavior. Also I open all windows one at a time and close because if I open more that 2 windows the issue may appear. *Sad
NOW, second pc, this time W 10 x64 upgraded from W 7 x64, the issue is present since day one.
Found also this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...0-ef65883ccc10
Definitively M$ should provide a fix...

 

Thanks for the advice, though sadly it doesn't work for me either. *Sad

 

...... here's a workaround:
Go to your desktop and right click an empty spot, choose 'New' then 'Shortcut';
Copy and paste the following into the dialog:
explorer shell:MyComputerFolder

then click Next, name it 'My Computer' or whatever you wish and click 'Finish'
right click on the new Shortcut and choose 'Properties, then 'Change Icon...',
in the dialog that appears, replace C:\Windows\explorer.exe under 'Look for icons in this file:' with imageres.dll and press Enter;
scroll over until you see this or an appropriate icon:





highlight it to choose then click OK, then Apply and OK on the previous window.
Now drag that shortcut down and pin it to the taskbar. You can delete the desktop version if you wish.

The first time you invoke Explorer from that shortcut and close then re-open it, it will have moved down and to the right about 1/2 inch but, it will only do that once.
The windows will open in File Explorer itself, but, launch it always from the new shortcut.

 

Used Option 1 here: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...ndows-8-a.html
and that worked fine for me... *Wink

 

I tried that here and it did NOT fix the problem. If my taskbar is at the bottom of the screen, each time I close and reopen File Explorer it is a bit further down and to the right of where it was before.

That is not surprising really. The tutorial you linked to only claims to reset Explorer's folder views. It does that, but it doesn't fix the problem this thread is about.

 

for those who have enough RAM:

I have been doing this. also: if you leave the File Explorer open/minimized when shutting down your system the computer will restart with the File Explorer open and it will be in the same position it was before shutting down.

 

Yes, you are right, it only fixes the problem per session, if pc is restarted, the issue comes back, in my case, only and if only, I maximize & restore File Explorer window, if I keep it always NOT maximized, it always open at the center of the screen, maybe it's something similar to this, which affected W 8.1, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...?wa=wsignin1.0

 

Thank you!It solved the problem.

 

Works just fine for me, cheers Koembaya
