WB4 Issue: Resizing Windows
Friday, May 23, 2003 by Tryzub | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have noticed that window sizes are not "remembered" by Windows Explorer when using WB4. In many cases new "restored down" windows are displayed partially off screen. This is occuring in all application windows, including Internet Explorer. Is this a known issue?
It also seems that when restoring down a maximized window, the size of the window is exactly the same size - only the restore button is changed.

Windows XP Pro
P4 1.7 GHz
GeForce4 Go

I thank anyone who can add their own experiences with this or who can offer some other insight.
Cheers

I haven't had that problem, unless I somehow resized the window to approximately the size it would be when maximized before closing it.

Thanks to the both of you for your responses. I've got to believe that I'm not the only one though. I know that Explorer is supposed to "remember" the restored down size if you right click and choose Close on the task bar button that represents an open Explorer window, while holding down CTRL.

Sometimes I'm amazed at the crap people respond to on this discussion board, yet when issues with software are raised, no one has anything to add; not even the people at Stardock.
C'mon, guys. You haven't even responded to my inquiry I sent last week to the support email address. What the deuce?
And yes, I'm a bit frustrated, so I apologize in advance if anyone is offended.

now that you mention it tryzub, i seem to have an issue with xp remembering window sizes at times but couldn't tell you if it's any fault of wb4. i've not had the problem you mentioned of restoring down maximized windows though.
