Position and size application windows at launch
Posted by Gary''s Student on November 26th, 2005


I have a .bat file that launches several applications. For example:

c:
cd \
cd Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10
powerpnt.exe

At the time powerpoint is started, I would like to specifiy where on the
screen the application window should appear and what its size should be.

Just manually run Power Point and Size/Position it where you want
it to open. It (Power Point) will remember the settings on the next
opening. If you're asking how to do this within the batch, I don't
know a way to do that and you might want to post in the Office NG.

Thank you for your fast response.

My users definitely want the applications to be automattically placed for
them. I suspect the Registry is where the settings are "remembered".

I'll just keep on looking.
