This is a small issue but it still annoys me every time it happens.
When I start FileSeek for the first time after starting the computer, it is placed such that the top right corner is in the middle of the screen. This means I can only see about 1/4 of the FileSeeks window. So I have to move it to see the whole window.
Is it possible to have it start for the first time so the middle of the window is in the middle of the screen?
Strange! On my system it starts in the position it was in when it was last closed (by design in Windows). If you make sure all instances of FileSeek are closed, launch one, move it to the middle of the screen, and then close it, does it re-open in the same spot, or still with the top-right corner in the middle?

Yes it does reopen in the same spot.
I thought it only happened when starting it for the first time after starting the computer but I just started it now for the first time today and it didn't do it. It started just a little off center. So it's not caused by restarting the computer.
It's happened enough times that I'm prettysure that it's a real issue but I could still be wrong.
I think we'll have to table this issue until I see a pattern.

Ok I finally figured it out!
At the end of the day, I close a lot of applications from the taskbar without bothering to restore them from a minimized state. If I close FileSeek by right-clicking it in the taskbar, while it's minimized, then when I restart it it doesn't restore to it's previous position but instead starts with the top left corner near the middle of the screen, as previously discussed.
Hopefully now you'll be able to look into it..

If it helps, I asked my friend how he did something similar. He said he used a different API function. Instead of GetWindowRect he used GetWindowPlacement.
I hope that helps.
