    Wordpad won't remember size/position

    For some reason, my Wordpad won't remember the window's size or position. I don't mean for each document individually, I mean at all. Every time I open it, it's just this big thing in the middle of the screen. I've resized it to -3, 0, 446, 1063 countless times, but for some reason it just doesn't stick.

    I've tried holding ctrl while closing it and whatnot, but nothing seems to work.

    I had another Vista Ultimate x64 install that did not have this problem. Wordpad just remembered its size and position every time it was changed and it would always open up to the size and position it was last closed as. But for some reason, it just won't save on this install.



    Any help would be appreciated.

    edit: I managed to right click on the title bar each time to resize each side of it, then held ctrl and closed it, then I opened it and it remembered it. So then I moved it where I wanted it with the title bar again, and then ctrl closed it again, and it seems to be staying there. Thanks, problem solved.

    Hello Tiffanys , welcome to the forum.

    Resize the window, then reposition. Hold down the Alt key and left click the close window button on the top right of the window (red X). In some computers it works with Alt key instead of Ctr key.

    Thanks.
