If your Windows window is not the right size, you can force it to return to a specific size. This is useful if you frequently resize a window and want it to always open at the same size. There are several ways to force a window to return to a specific size. One way is to use the built-in Windows settings. Another way is to use a third-party utility. Additionally, you can use the command line to force a window to return to a specific size.
To use the built-in Windows settings, first, open the window that you want to resize. Next, click on the “Window” menu and select “Size and Position.” In the “Size and Position” dialog box, enter the desired width and height for the window. Finally, click on the “OK” button to save your changes. The window will now return to the specified size whenever it is opened.
If you prefer not to use the built-in Windows settings, you can use a third-party utility. There are several free and paid third-party utilities available that can help you force a window to return to a specific size. One popular free utility is called “Sizer.” Sizer is a simple and easy-to-use utility that allows you to resize and position windows with precision. Additionally, Sizer can be used to save and restore window sizes and positions. To use Sizer, first, download and install the utility. Next, launch Sizer and click on the “Add” button. In the “Add Window” dialog box, select the window that you want to resize. Finally, click on the “OK” button to save your changes.
