I have a solution which works for my intractable remember windows position.
Set your window as you like it (works for full screen on a dual monitor set-up too) -
Hit F11 TWICE (i.e once for kiosk, once to bring the window back to where you like it).
I've had to purchase this software also its very annyoing Win7 dosn't have this as standard. I've come straight from XP as I was never happy with Vista I don't even remember Win95 having this issue?
However with the Window Manager its messing up any preset sized Java script popups I have on my site ie a shoutbox/radio player Java irc chat etc.
Hope this gets resolved as besides this & portable apps not running i'm very happy with Win7.
Remember this will apply to folders of a particular type. There are five folder types. If you open the folder properties, the last tab "Customize" will show you what its current type is and you can change it.

The $10 WindowManager solves the window position and size problem, but for me that's only half of what I need. I need each folder to also remember its LAYOUT settings, specifically, whether or not the navigation pane is enabled (Organize --> Layout --> Navigation Pane). Folders remembered all their settings in XP (once the "BagMRU size" registry tweak was applied, that is!!). I need the same behavior in Win7.
The reason is that I use a half-dozen folders on the desktop to store program icons. For example, I have a folder named "Games" that contains icons to run about 50 different games (Yes, I know this harks back to Program Manager in Windows 3.1 -- I've been using Windows since 1982!). I want the Games folder to contain nothing but icons in just the Details pane. But whenever I run Windows Explorer with the navigation pane turned on, it also gets turned on in the Games folder.
Looks like i will have to buy this app too
Thanks microsoft :) What another unnessesary change you've done to Windows 7
Cool thx for this thread.. W7 not saving window positions was driving me crazy!
If W7 is supposed to be the OS that MS is banking on businesses to flock to (unlike vista), how the hell could they screw up like this and break something so fundamental like desktop management. Nobody likes random-poorly-thoughtout change, esp 9-5 business types just slogging through their work.
N1 MS!
Does anybody know if RTM fixes this problem? I am on RC1.
