Setting/Locking a Window's size and location
I have been looking for a reg hack to control window size and location. I am
the administrator for the school district with over 38 schools. What I am trying to do is to have a window on the Desktop called Applications that is locked in size and position. Inside this window we can place the icons the elementary students are to use. Even if the kids can move or resize the window when they are in I would like it to reappear in the specified location (and size) after a reboot or login. Is this possible? I am hoping to push this down via GPO so I would not have to physically visit every PC in the district. So far we are able to automatically create and re-create the Applications folder and populate it with the icons we need via GPOs, we would just like to be able to control the size and location if possible. Thank you for your time, Ilmar |

Thank you for your time, Ilmar AFAIK, no, there is no way to do that but it would be handy now I think about it. It is possible to set each shortcut to open the window minimized or maximized, if either of those are acceptable, but not in between. That's a setting in the Shortcut tab in the Properities window called "Run". You can have Normal Window, max or min and that's all. |

Setting/Locking a Window's size and location
I wonder, would limiting permissions to these keys (so window
size/location data is not saved) do the trick?
