What program are you using when you open a new window?

I use Firefox and just tried Rt click / Open new window.
It opened a new window in the "Last saved position" for FF.

I normally open links by clicking the scroll wheel so they open in a new tab (for me).

Usually when you move it up once, it comes back into that new position the next time. Is that not happening.

If you maximize the main window and then open a link in a new window, what happens ?

Do all programs work this way for you, or just Chrome?

Can you try using IE and see if that remembers the last position?

Afetr you open a new window, hold down CTRL and positon the window in place, release CTRL first. If that doesn't work try using the SHIFT key instead.

What often works to program a window's default opening size is to drag the window to the size and position you want it to open, then click several times the Maximize box at top right next to the red X, to program the window to remember the default size and position.

Dear opticaltech,
A warm welcome to the Forums! Britton30's suggestion will help you to position the window where you want. gregrocker's suggestion will help you to "increase" the size of the opened window.

regards and best wishes,
sree

The above advises works for me!! Since when has this been happening

Can you try using IE and see if that remembers the last position?

If Chrome is the only program with this problem you can try:

  1. disabling addons and see if that fixes it
  2. uninstall Chrome using Revo uninstaller and re-installing
Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems

If most programs don't remember the "Last Position" you may have system problems.
