Sorry if this already have been done / is possible - pls tell me how. Roger This has been a complaint for a long time. It's been brought to the attention of the developers many times. So far no solution. Boinc V7.2.42 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470 ID: 799629 ·

I would prefer boinc remember last window position and size... BOINC Manager remembers the window size quite well, only the position is handled by windows, as it is for many other programs as well.

GruÃŸ, Gundolf Window size has been a problem for me for the last few BOINC versions. Everytime I restart my computer, I have to allow BOINC to start (because I'm using Vista, so that's a separate issue) and then I have to resize my window because it defaults to something so small that nothing is visible. I even thought that if I resized my BOINC Manager, then exited BOINC Manager that it might save the window size then, but no luck. I still have to resize every time I open BOINC Manager.

It remembers window size when re-launching BOINC, but it still reverts to the smaller window size upon restart. ID: 799734 ·
