When I am working with files on my project I normally have four windows open viewing four different folders in the four quadrants of the screen. My morning ritual involves having to manually open these four folders, takes only a few moments but I was hoping to find a way to automate this with Windows XP?
Any ideas?
You can write a batch file with these commands:
start c:\myfolder1
start c:\myfolder2
start c:\myfolder3
start c:\myfolder4
or, since Bart said in the comments on this answer, he uses this method:
explorer c:\myfolder1 (etc...)
and then run that any way you wish (on Start up, via a shortcut...)
As for saving their position on the screen, I don't know much about that, but you could try using Winsplit Revolution. That will let you use hotkeys to reposition windows (Ctrl+Alt+Numpad 7 moves a window to the top left).
