Ron, I am the original poster of this thread and as I said I only have one monitor so it is not a "multiple monitor configuration problem! AND As I said when ever Legacy has been snapped to either the left or right side of the screen and closed from that position, it does not retain its pre-snapped windows location. This location is supposed to be controlled by the Legacy2.usr file and the recommended solution for this was to delete that file and try it again. However, that does not resolve the problem. If I unsnap the window it returns to the size and place that it was before being snapped, however if it is closed from the snapped position it does not retain the pre-snapped positions. Saying it is a windows problem seems in error because all the other program windows return to their pre-snapped positions not in a small 5 inch or less sized windows. So if anyone else can confirm that this happens to them with a SINGLE monitor using the Windows 7 feature of snapping two windows side by side and then closing them from the snapped positions and reopen the same program then let me know otherwise I will just live with it. Just seems odd that it is only the Legacy program window that does this. Seams like the Legacy2.usr file gets corrupted when it is closed from the snapped position. Russ

Why this hoary old chestnut continues to appear on this list is rather beyond me. Windows configuration for multiple screens is not a Legacy question but a Windows one. Googling "Windows: multiple monitor configuration" will bring op loads of references for all versions of Windows.
