Recommended Posts

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

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 :whistle: .

Greetings.

Today I found a freeware app

that seems to resolve (almost) all of my WinXP popup dislikes -

including the ing... popups.

I am still hoping to find/hear some how/where

how to control the Windows Explorer ing... popups

through an ini/reg tweak.

Any helpful replies/insights appreciated.

Thank you.
