re: Question about 'Force Windows to Remember Window Positions' Sunday, December 21, 2003 at 1:48 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MARK GILES (1 messages posted) I have found a possible solution: Hold down the F5 function key whilst clicking on the CLOSE (X) box. Sometimes you have to maximize then restore down, and manually stretch the window to the size you want before the F5 thing, but it does seem to work for windows media player, and IE.
