Windows 10: Save Windows positions - IE ShellFolderFix

Has anyone come across an app like ShellFolderFix for saving window/icon positions?

I previously used ShellFolderFix on Win 7.

On Win 10 (multi-monitor setup), coming out of sleep, the windows are all gathers on my primary monitor instead of being distributed where I left them. So I tried ShellFolderFix, but it does not help. So I was going to save the "workspace" (in ShellFolderFix), but i just get an error (there are no open windows, that are saved in a workspace). So I am looking for another method.

Suggestions?

I guess it is not a problem I have ever noticed as I don't like having excessive amounts of windows open on a machine.

Internet Explorer won't open in full screen

Hi,

Close all Open IE windows.

Click on your IE launch icon, (taskbar quiklink or desktop link)...

Once opened press f11 to make IE go into full screen mode, (or the View>Full Screen menu)

then close IE to save the window position and size and state information....

ie remembers the position and size and state (minimized, normal, maximized or IE full screen) saved from the last time that the browser was closed.....

reopen IE from the quicklink or desktop launch icon.... it should open at your homepage in full screen mode....

to get a handle on how IE is saving position, size and state information, in the newly opened IE window turn off full screen mode, then resize/reposition the IE window and then close IE..... when you reopen IE it will be in the positon, size and state that
it was in when it was last closed. Re-open/reposition and close a number of IE windows at the same time... it is always the position, size and state information of the LAST IE window that was closed that is used to open the next new IE window.

!important...... if you have multiple IE windows opened... it is only the position, size and state information of the last IE window that was closed that is used to position a new IE window when it is opened.

Regards.

I use Zmover from Basta. I thought it was free but it does require a payment. It's super powerful in that you have complete control over all window dimensions and placement but it can be tedious initially. Once you have it set up it's worth its weight in gold.

29/7/2015 Have installed the Windows 10 released today. I have just installed ShellFolderFix on this main system as I did a clean install using the software from the Microsoft site to set up a USB install stick. ShellFolderFix works like a charm on this system just as it did on Wndows 7. My Laptop I just did the upgrade of Windows 10 to keep all my software intact ShellFolderFix was alleady installed on that and again on Windows 10 its working like a charm. I just thought I'd let you know via this forum as I could not get it work on any of the Pre-Release Builds of windows 10 until today.

 

excellent! good to hear DavidGBUK. i am going to be installing windows 10 shortly, and i have been using (and loving) ShellFolderFix for a long time (through 7-8.1). another utility that i have used on other rigs i have setup that i quite like is called "ReIcon" which enables you to save and restore multiple desktop icon layouts. although it doesn't have the ability to save window "workspace" arrangements, it works very well for saving icon positions.
