is there any plan to add the option of having 'workspaces' open _in addition to the folders already open_, rather than closing all open windows so that only the workspace folders are open?

.Q: My view layout and view mode settings are not properly restored for folders, is something wrong?
A: No, it works as it should. Currently ShellFolderFix does not affect view layout/mode, even though I'd like to add support for it in future if possible. Only window position and size are affected/restored.
By view layout and view mode settings, are you are refering to a window's maximized state and monitor location? If so, this is not extremely clear to potential downloaders / users. To clarify, the application does not save the monitor location of maximized windows. I almost strictly use maximized windows and use keyboard hotkeys to switch monitors. This application is not useful for this particular window organization / usage mode. Pressing the restore down (middle titlebar button) will allow the window to move to the last saved location. Hopefully this will either save a user from the time to install the program or preferably, prompt future support for this.

Firstly I would like to thank you for producing such an excellent piece of software.
The fact that MS thinks that I would want to re size every folder when I open it so that I can access it properly is absolutely mind-blowing. Do they not use their own operating system?
I was wondering if anyone else has been having problems with SFFix in the last few days? I have been using it since April and just a few days ago it stop functioning and I am pulling my hair out just trying to get my regular work done.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
I have deleted the SFF folder and reinstalled.
I have done a system restore to September 5th and reinstalled.
It is running right now but not remembering any window position or size.
I have not installed any new software or changed my antivirus.
I would appreciate any suggestions that you any have.
One strange piece of info is that "Windows Manager" does not work on my system either...... I tried it out of desperation!

not me. (I've just started using the workspaces feature, too, and it's all terrific.
the only Windows Explorer problem I've ever had is a folder that when opened from a shortcut freezes up _some times_ after a 'group by' setting had been applied. ...I don't know if that's because programs are competing to apply their settings to the window and it all just becomes a tangled mess, or if it's only a problem on Microsoft's side or something.)

Does any one where one is supposed to complain to MS about this issue??
I know that it will probably be equivalent to spitting in the ocean but at least I would feel a little better.....
Thanks....

Yes, me too. Mine stopped working this morning. Then I found your post. Worked fine yesterday. Today, all of a sudden, it doesn't. I didn't install anything, uninstall anything, or do any updates.
EDIT - Mine just started working now. No idea why. I even re-booted twice since and it works perfect now. Didn't even lose any of my settings. Strange.Last edited by hpower1; 07 Oct 2011 at 09:49.

dunno, really, but at
Support for Windows 7 technical problems and troubleshooting
the menu of 'support options' re Win 7 lists a few possibilities, like the forum at 'answers.microsoft.com'.

My situation is similar. After months of use, my SFF v.1.1.3 suddenly stopped saving any new workspaces, but I can still restore previously saved ones. I downloaded and installed the latest 64-bit version (1.1.4) with no luck. Can anyone help? Thanks
UPDATE: Tried re-booting, reloading various times with no success. After 3 days, I uninstalled everything, including databases (unfortunately lost all previous workspaces). Rebooted. I found it strange that 2 other users "suddenly" had my same problem, at about the same time, so I changed the date on my system to an earlier date. Don't know if that had any bearing on the positive result. I installed the 1.1.4 ShellFolderFixSetup.exe file and Renamed the default install folder by adding the version number 1.1.4. I changed the date back, and everything works fine. At least for now!Last edited by SevenHills; 12 Oct 2011 at 03:34. Reason: Found resolution

Does anyone know if this program needs the page file to work? I just started working on my re-install to an ssd. Got a few programs on it so far, including this. But it won't work. Only main difference I can think of between my current install and the W7 install on my ssd. Could that be it?

I am running on an SSD also but SFF worked fine for me for months.
I love this program so much that I have no qualms about manually starting it each morning.
I am running three 22" monitors so I REALLY need my folders to open where I left them.
I have tried various start-up routines and used the delayed start supplied with the program but whenever it starts automatically it does not recognize any open folders. If I start it manually after every thing has settled down it works perfectly.
I ran into this problem with AutoHotKey.... I would write these beautiful sleek scripts then have to add a bunch of "SLEEP. 500" to slow them down so they would run properly. 8GB of RAM hooked up to a 120GB SSD means that normal sloths like Quickbooks and Photoshop open in two seconds not TWENTY!
I am going to try and install SFF on my secondary drive so it has a few extra milliseconds to find what it needs to load AND work!
I still think that Tweaker should accept donations........
Sincerely From,
