Windows 7 - ShellFolderFix - Manage folder window positions/size

I have ShellFolderFix installed on three different Windows 7 Ultimate systems, two 64-bit, one 32-bit. Everything works exactly as advertised when ShellFolderFix is first started. But, after a few hours, it stops working. Its still running and still showing in the tray, but it doesn't do anything. I can open the config screen from the tray and change parameters but it does not reposition Explorer windows any more. I kill it with the Taskmgr and then restart it, and poof, all of the Explorer windows pop into their correct postions and things work correctly for a few more hours.

I really like the fact that ShellFolderFix works, but its a real pain to have to keep restarting it all of the time.

Oh, Mr Developer, can you come up with a fix for this problem?

Thanks!

I have a request. Would it be possible to set a fixed position/dimensions for all explorer windows and just stick to this? Just a single position for all the newly opened windows.

What I mean is that Windows is cascading the windows for example.

Hi. Is there any chance of change tray icon? The actual one is not very clear. Thanks in advance.

I can get you mine if you like the Windows 7 new tray icons style. You can replace the default one by using ResHacker on the .exe for example.

Thanks a lot, but I resolved it with ResHacker too. I tried it before but I was using the 32bit version thus it didn't work. But with the 64bit one it's all ok. Thanks again

Hi Tweaker,
I am using ShellFolderFix since long time and I am very satisfied, BUT:
On my main Windows Desktop I am using a lot of individual folders (folder icons). Within these folders I arranged a lot of application icons in an individual order and position. Now, due to some reconfigurations with my grafic cards, the desktop is sometimes reordered with all the application icons and folder icons. AND, unfortunately, the icon position inside the folder are dearranged as well.
With your tool SFF ("restore desktop icons") I rearrange all the icons, and that works realy good. BUT INSIDE FOLDERS it doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong? Is there another tool available?
My System: i7; Windows 7-64 8GB
best regards

First off, this is a life saver. THANKS!

For some reason recently, when I reboot, although all folders are where they were before, if I slide over the folders icon in the task bar, the previews began to be consistently left-right reversed in order. This did not used to happen.

This fix has been a lifesaver for me. I am eternally grateful for it.

I am curious if Windows 8 'fixed' this ridiculous oversight on their part?
