Any way to keep folders or PDFs in the same position permanently?
Hi Tweaker,
Thank you so much for this awesome program. By the way, when I open the same name folders or even different files within a program (e.g., multiple PDFs or MS WORDs), it changes the folder position that is a bit lower than the previous one. Please take a look at the attached captured image. Is there perhaps way to keep folders or PDFs in the same position with the same size permanently whether I open the same folders or same type of files multiple times? Thank you very much again!

I find the current version, 1.1.4, works great for both Win 8.1 and 10. I only run 10 on a VM, as I'm not willing to put up with degraded functionality just to have "the latest", so I still have Win 8.1 on my main workstation. ShellFolderFix rocks!
I like the way ShellFolderFix does what it does, and quite frankly I don't think I'd have been nearly as productive over the past 7 or so years if you hadn't so graciously provided this software. Thank you!
I was wondering... Is there any chance ShellFolderFix could be extended to manage all applications?
What I mean, specifically is that if an application itself doesn't reposition its window upon next open in the same place it was last used, could the code in ShellFolderFix be repurposed into making it open in the position it was last in (or at least very quickly moving it there)?
Would you be willing to share the source code? I'd be interested in contributing to its advancement in this direction.
Thanks.

Noel, on my Win 7 machine, it appears that ShellFolderFix works for all application Windows, no exceptions. It's only now after reading the first post in this thread that I discover that it isn't supposed to. Strange.

It's been a long time since the developer has returned here. Their last login was June 2011. I hope they are well and nothing bad has happened to them.
I have just zipped up my copy of ShellFolderFix and put it in my dropbox if anyone else wants it.
No I can't/won't offer support and it's use at your own risk.
I've used it since 2010 and love it.

Hi all. I've just seen that the download links are not available any more, and people cannot find any other place where the ShellFolderFix can be downloaded, so I thought I would share my copy of it.
I used SFF for very long time on Windows 7, and it was a blessing. Then I moved to Windows 8 and 10 on my devices, and it wasn't needed any more. Recently I had to return to Windows 7 on some of my machines, and I noticed the SFF is not needed any more. It looks like Windows will now remember folder window positions by itself, like in Windows XP. However, SFF may be still useful for those wanting more control over how the position-keeping behaves.
The zipped file contains all of the versions that were available: installer and both 32 and 64-bit versions in a manual installation form. I intend this link to be available for a very long time - possibly until I die or dropbox stops providing free services :) But someone could make a mirror anyway, perhaps on a different file hosting service, just in case.

Bon apetit :)
