Messenger not remembering docked position by RaveRod on 06-11-2004 at 05:48 AM

Heya Patchou! Great work with Plus! 3!

I have one nigly problem though. MSN Messenger won't remember if it's docked or not when I restart it.

My MSN Messenger is v6.2.0137 and Plus! is v3.011.94. I'm also running on Windows XP SP1.

When I run MSN Messenger, I dock it to the right of my screen. It remember's that until I restart Messenger.

When I start Messenger again, it defaults to just sitting on the desktop. Is this by design or an actual bug? I'd prefer it to remember the position by default.

Yep, that's normal, it's a limitation. The window position is never saved as docked, sorry.

That's ok Patchou. The rest of the program easily makes up for it.

What I want to know is, is it a real limitation or an impossibility? eg. Will it be possible in another version perhaps?

I wouldn't say its impossible to do, I jsut want to prevent any bad effect if Messenger Plus! got uninstalled while Messenger was saved as docked. I could make it remember the docked size and I may do it at some point :).

Oh. Ok then. Seems like a good enough reason. :P

Would like to see it as a feature still. ;)
