Is there anyway to set the size and position of the
window when you open games like sol.exe and
freecell.exe ??

For example... are there any arguments you could include
in the shortcut that would fix the position on the
screen ? Help would be aprreciated... thanks... t
 
Hi t,

As for command line arguments for the shortcut, I'm not aware
of any, however I'm sure that someone will reply if they exist. I've
only come up with a method to make those games start fullscreen.

To make one of the Windows Games such as Solitaire larger:

First, copy the game:
Click Start / All Programs / Games
Right click on the game (Solitaire for example)
Select Properties from the list
Press the "Find Target" button on the next window
Right Click on the highlighted file and select Copy

Next paste the copy to your Desktop:
Right Click on your Desktop
Select Paste from the list

Finally, we'll change the resolution setting for the game:
Right click on the game you just pasted to your Desktop
Select Properties from the list and Click on the Compatibility Tab
Put a check in the box marked "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"

Now whenever you want to play, click on that game on your Desktop and it
will open in full screen mode using the largest Cards and Numbers possible! :-)
