Vista - Control Panel does not keep its position

01-14-2008

Hi All,

I have a new Windows Ultimate Installation and changed the Control Panel to
Classic View, and also expanded it into the upper part of the monitor, but
it does
not remember it.

How that can be fixed?

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

one possible solution is http://winhlp.com/node/98 . Guaranteed
to work. It is particularly interesting if you want the same
stability for several other windows as well.

Hi Joe,

You will just need to reset your folder view settings. Method Two in this tutorial will show you how. It will let Vista remember how you last left a window when it was closed again.

Windows Explorer Folder View settings

Joe,

the problem has always been there a little bit. If you moved the
window or opened a second one, it ended up in a different
position.

Windows Vista has changed the user interface again a little bit,
and I'm not yet exactly sure how it works this time.

But I don't care. Window Demon solves the problem anyway, for
all windows, if you like.
