sb0 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) So I want to write basically a start-up script to start up Task Manager, Resource Manager, Core Temp, and MSI Afterburner on my secondary display. I remember back in the old XP days there was a Window menu and you could tell it to remember the size and position (or maybe that Win98?) Anyways, I'm not sure which language to implement this. The way I see it I can use: - Windows Batch script (.bat) - VBscript (.vbs) - I know this may be considered outdated but it's still very useful and can do the simple task I need - Powershell - .NET (probably overkill but listing anyways) And I'm sure there's more options I haven't listed. If there is a "preferred" or "best-practice" choice I would like to know Or if you just have suggestions or comments please leave a remark below! I have same basic experience in all the above languages so that's not a factor. RIght now I am considering writing the same script with the first 3 languages and noting my opinions/observations.

jaclaz Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Possibly the simplest would be plain batch using nircmd: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html should have all the commands you need. Probably next (what I would use, mind you not necessarily the best idea) would be either AutoIt or AutoHotKey, as AFAICR they have many easy functions to manage wiindows. This exists (written in AutoHotKey, source included): https://sourceforge.net/projects/winsize2/ But I think there are many more "dedicated" freewares/low cost sharewares for this, though finding one with all the features you want may take some time, as I think many are single display only, anyway a couple ones: https://www.displayfusion.com/ https://toddnelson.net/ https://github.com/Todd1561/TANWindowMgr jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
