Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Locking PC causes windows to resize

Spec: UM v2.7.1.0, WinXP SP3

Hi,

I use UM at work and couldn't work without it - great software!!

One annoying gripe is that whenever my machine is locked all windows spanning over more than one screen get resized to fit in one screen. I have to manually resize them all again.

For example a window stretching over screens 2 and 3 will be resized to screen 2 after the machine is locked.

Any way to get around this?

Thanks

This is a Windows issue, you'll also get this without UltraMon installed.

UltraMon doesn't have an automatic workaround for this, what you could do is save/restore window positions manually using the Save/RestoreWndPos scripts, but you would need to do this each time you lock/unlock the system.

Thanks. I half expected it to be a Windows issue.

Do you know if there is anyway in Windows to automatically run those scripts whenever the machine is locked?

I'm not aware of a way to do this, UltraMon also doesn't support this, but it's possible that there are other tools which can run scripts/applications in response to the system getting locked/unlocked.
