I have the same thing with my travelling laptop.  I connect it to a dinky little KVM hub at home, and to a monitor at the hotel (both monitors are the same res), and my windows and desktop are screwed up every time.

It was a conscious decision by ms, with weven, to not remember window positions and sizes.  Up until XP, they at least stored the data and restored the windows.

And windows has never bothered remembering how your desktop icons are organised -- desktop-icon positioning is as important as toolbar-button positioning.  Perhaps more so.

Worth their weight in gold:
Shell Folder Fix[^]
Iconoid[^]
But they only treat the symptoms, not the disease.

Just because their UX nancies don't do anything other than write memos, tweets, and letters to their grandmas with their computers, they think that no-one else needs to do more than that, or to be more organised.

winio is worse. I like my taskbar to be two rows high (with hide on), but every time I restart the PoC at work, it's decided that I only want one row, so I have to unlock it, drag it up, and lock it again (I lock it to reduce the size taken up by the Quick Start panel).

They've taken making things harder to do into the realm of fine art.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
