dre2112 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Any way to solve this from happening? It seems to only happen with the printer options window which wouldn't be a big deal but I print A LOT for work and need to ahve the window centered on my screen. I've attached a pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
articuno1au Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Drag it up into the middle of the screen and then press the red X. It should set it's last used window location to there and will open there by default >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre2112 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 tried that, didn't make a difference. The window still opens up in the same spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerFan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 How about you give some details about your setup? How big is your monitor? What is your resolution? Is this a physical machine or a VM? Are you using any software packages that are designed to alter your viewing experience? Mac or PC?? 1 year old or 15 years old? Windows or Mac with Parallels? Chicken or egg? Joking of course, but to illustrate that troubleshooting requires detailed information, and you have provided VERY little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeN2k Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Ctrl and the red x should fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted December 15, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 15, 2012 Right click on the title bar and select Move ;) Drag to the center and then close. Should save to that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted December 16, 2012 Member Share Posted December 16, 2012 Do the above and try rebooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre2112 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey guys, thanks for the help. I tried all of those things and right click + move seemed to help temporarily. When I restart it goes back to the same way just above the taskbar. For more info, my PC is running Windows 8. The software is the default windows print screen which pops up when you hit print in any document (this only seems to happen when I print from pdf files and not Word or any other software.) Would reinstalling the printer software/drivers help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMartian Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (this only seems to happen when I print from pdf files and not Word or any other software.) Maybe your PDF reader is being dumb, thinking it's spawning the window in the middle of the screen? Try a different reader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open a folder window, goto Organise > View > Folders and Search Options > Uncheck Hide protected operating system files Delete the "desktop.ini" files on the desktop Reboot and see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
