Wendy,

You are correct. It is the way Windows works, and nothing to do with Legacy.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Window sizes

Hi Russ,

I frequently "snap" various windows to one side, or to the top to
maximise.  I do this with Legacy, and my computer remembers what I set
when it closes and opens as it was last left.

This sounds like a problem with your computer, rather than a Legacy
problem.  :-(

But the main reason I wanted to reply, was to share this - did you know
you can "snap" a window using the keyboard, instead of the mouse?  I
discovered it by accident a while ago, and now use it all the time, and
you might find it useful when your window(s) aren't displaying as you
want them to...

Hold down the Windows button and press one of the arrow keys.  The left
arrow will send the window to the left half of the screen, the right
arrow to the right, and the up arrow will maximise the window.

This works in Windows 7, but I can't remember if it works in Vista or XP
- I don't have either of those here to check with at the moment, and
can't remember the results when I've tried it on other machines when
I've had the opportunity.

It's very quick and convenient.  I use it in all sorts of situations,
including to resize the "save as" window when saving a new file.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy
