Saving Position

Post by *PhilP »

Under 'Configuration' I inadvertantly hit 'Save Position.' Now whenever I open TC it opens in exactly that location wherein previously it opened where I had previously closed it. How do I return to the previous setting where the 'Save Position' is not implemented?

I seached through the Settings file under 'Change Files Directly' but couldn't find an entry that dealt with the position.

Thanks for your help,

PhilP,
You may save your new desired position.
Or you may remove parameters x, y, dx, dy from section that matches your screen resolution in wincmd.ini (such as 1280x1024 (8x16) etc, and also AllResolutions if parameter ResolutionSpecific is set to 0).

MVV, Thanks very much for the assistance. I have one more question.

Apparently TC uses 'Notepad.exe' for editing 'wincmd.ini' whereas I prefer 'UltraEdit'. I have configured UltraEdit for F4 but when I bring up 'Change Settings Files Directly' it utilizes 'Notepad'. Is there some means to change 'wincmd.ini' so that TC uses 'UltraEdit'?

Thanks again,
/* Phil */

PhilP,
TC always uses Notepad there, but you can create user-command that will start your favorite editor and pass parameter %COMMANDER_INI% to it.

MV,

Thanks again for your answer to my second question.

Regarding the above parameters which you said I can remove. Is there anyway to 'comment' them out; e.g., to use a symbol or something like 'rem' used in batch files to leave them where they are but so that they are inactive?

Thanks again,

PhilP,
You may safely delete them (you can make a backup of wincmd.ini if you unsure).
Or you can rename them (e.g. x -> _x etc).
Or you can comment them (usually comment character in INI is ;).
