Default IE window position?
Authored by: MXMike on Mar 10, '02 05:26:30AM

Cool hint. The first thing I do each time I start up IE is resize the browser window so that the right edge is against the right edge of the screen, so that I can blindly move the pointer to the far right to operate the scroll bar. Is there a way (script, pref file, etc.) that I can make this my default window position?

Preferences-->Interface Extras. Toggle the window settings in there, and you'll get the desired effect, I believe. Haven't played too much with this, though... I could be wrong.

Not default, but a quick fix is to use a bookmarklet, which is javascript as an URL. I have a folder of them in my favorites bar. Make a favorite with the URL:
javascript:moveTo(X,Y);resizeTo(WIDTH,HEIGHT)

For example, my resize URL (Cinema Display) is:
javascript:moveTo(0,0);resizeTo(900,727)

Apologies for this not being specific to OS X, just responding to the question.

Ooh, I like that, didn't even think of it. Even easier would be to put enter that javascript line into the preferences as your homepage, and tell it to automatically go to your homepage upon opening a new window.

Thank you! That javascript command is exactly what I was looking for. I've made it my default page and now all my new windows are exactly the size I want them :)
