Thank you THANK YOU!

EDIT: Thanks for putting it in the OP, Brink. Many people like myself did not want to use WindowManager since it is not free.

I am glad that it worked for you.

Note that it was not found due to my reading other threads. Since no one was coming up with a good (IMO) solution, I did a google search and found myself back here!

Read the negative reviews on CNet regarding 'Fences' (Other than having it reported as a virus), namely the EULA,

how to make windows 7 or XP remember window size and position

I know this sounds wierd but it works. 1. Open the window that you want to resize. 2. Close or minimize other windows. 3. Right click on task bar and then left click on "show windows side by side". 4. Resize/position the window to the way you want it. 5. Close the window.

This works with most windows/programs but not all. Once you try it a few times, it's easy, and requires no extra little programs. Works with IE but all websites will open in same remembered position.

That does nothing to make windows remember the position when they are re-opened. And it makes a mess when using multiple monitors.
Even windows 8 doesn't save explorer window positions.
Still the best solution is window manager from Desksoft. I couldn't live without it.

But what you need to move/resize the window while you are working, and then close it? Will it still open where you want it to the next time? I think it remembers the last position and size, and not the desired opening position and size, which are 2 different things.

I want my window to always open in the same location and size, regardless of what those settings were when I last closed it.
