Hi all,

Is there a way to create a batch file that will open SEVERAL internet sites and arrange them so that the windows are tiled next to each other?

For example, say I want to open 4 windows, I would like it to open with the windows arranged top-left, bottom-left, top-right, and bottom-right. I don't know if there is a way to send arguments for size and placement parameters of the windows to the start command so that they open up with the correct size and position or if there is a way to re-size and place the windows after they are open.

So far all I have figured out is how to get Firefox open and to the correct website. The /MIN tag I'm trying to use to open the window in minimized state isn't working as it STILL opens in maximized state.

start /MIN F:\"PROGRAM Files"\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe http://www.google.com/


Any help in getting this figured out would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS,
-tkrScratch that, I just thought of another way to accomplish this...

I can store the two files that have the stored session files from Firefox (localstore.rdf and sessionstore.js) and use a batch file to copy the files back into the firefox Profiles folder and launch firefox when I want to load that particular configuration. I like this method better because it'll be a whole lot easier to customize the window settings.

For those that were going to help me but hadn't yet seem my post, I thank you!

-tkrHeh, a pretty inventive way of doing this. Not bad.

Thanks for posting back. Thanks Carbon Dudeoxide.

I tried it with 6 windows and it worked for the most PART, but for some reason a couple windows aren't going back where I left them. Looks like I'll have to play with it a little more.
