Saving Window Size

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Unable to save window size for some programs.
For example, when open Solitaire game, always have
to resize to larger view. Holding down Shift Key on
exit doesn't save my setting and always opens in same
small XP window size. Any ideas or tweaks to get this
program and few others to always open in windows size
I want to view them as. OS is WinXP Pro SP2. Tx.

Have you tried this:
-Drag the window edges to the desired size
-Close the window by clicking the X and holding down the CTRL button

For anyone else you post this to: Never use the X. Proper info: Drag the
window to wanted size using the double arrows, then use File/Close or Exit.

Freecell doesn't save it windows size. Every program does things how it wants.

Tx for all replies. Had tried holding down CTRL key using Exit (not the X)
and doesn't work either. Will live with fact that some programs will always
open the MS way as mentioned by David C.

No. Drag the window out and use File/Close or exit. But yes, some programs
are set.
