Solve : Window positioning?

Answer»

Is there anyway to have a batch FILE start another and have that window open at a specific point on the screen. I'm trying to have a batch file open three others, one as a banner at the top of the screen and the other two on either side of the screen. In the START options, it MENTIONS you can start a program minimized or maximized, but it says nothing about positioning on the screen. Is it something I can write into the other batch files? Is it possible to do within batch?

Thanks for the help.There is no built in way to set a COMMAND window size and position on the screen as you describe. There is a utility called CMDOW which you can download which allows a batch script to set its own size and position. (and a lot of other things as well)

I also found this article explaining how to do so by MODIFYING the registry, but it looks like it is a lot more time and labor intensive. However it does allow this to happen solely within batch, in case any others are LOOKING for it.
