  1. ShellfolderFix not remembering windows size/position


    Recently started having problems with the fantastic little utility written by a member of the Windows 7 forums, whom I'm hoping now frequents these forums too.

    For some reason, shellfolderfix 1.1.15 is no longer remembering windows sizes/positions. I've removed it, deleted the db and even removed registry entries and reinstalled. But no matter what I try, it seems to remember some things until I reboot then it forgets them. If I "Save db now" it will remember it, but I can't imagine having to do that for every single window I move or resize.

    Windows 10 1809 17763.864 (2019-11)

    Anyone else seeing anything strange with this utility?

    :)

    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?

    Save Windows positions - IE ShellFolderFix


    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.

    Remember window position?


    For the other guy that was having problems with this intended behavior... check out this link. I never had problems in previous versions of windows, but apparently other people have experienced this intended behavior. This was made for win7 but I just tried it out and it seems to be working. Hope it helps you out. ShellFolderFix - Manage folder window positions/size - Windows 7 Help Forums
