Yet, it is only the Legacy program window that opens in a 5 inch square window, all the other programs open in their pre-snapped window size and position when closed from the snapped position. So it seems that the Legacy window does not remember it's pre-snapped window position if it is closed in the snapped position. Russ

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

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 Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
