AEN007 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 16Jan2009 Greetings. I would like to know if there is an ini file (or some thing/way) to edit the default location (& size) that the Windows's Copying.../Moving.../Deleting... popups appear? The popups appear in two consistent locations depending on whether one has used F5/F6 or Send to - in any app that uses Windows Copying/Moving/Deleting.I don't use Windows Explorer at all.I would like to change the default location (and/or size)of these popup windows.Any replies/insights appreciated. Thank you. Regards, AEN Æ

GrofLuigi Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Any replies/insights appreciated.I'm afraid I won't be very helpful, but I don't think it's (easily) possible.Think abot it this way:What happens if you start two copy operations (that invoke two same dialogs)? Are the dialogs at the exact same pixel position? I think not (but I'm not 100% sure). But I've seen many popups of the same class appear slightly below the previous, until they reach the bottom of the screen, when they start over at the top. It must be intentional (so you see there are more of them). Some other dialogs appear at the dead center (horizontal/vertical) of the screen, so they depend on your chosen resolution.The hard way: disasemble Windows and rewrite the routines or find the coordinates if they exist and hardcode them.And finally, I might be completely wrong. Only those who wrote Windows know that for sure . GL
