Hi Carsten. Thanks for the response. I've tried lots of combinations of 'remember' settings, but none appear to affect where the windows are placed. Is there a way to debug this ( remember settings ) ... eg see if an app is being identified on startup. It's possible it's changing it's name mid-flight or something, and so not being detected? I successfully use 'remember' settings for other apps. It just seems to be this java app that E always places in the top-left corner of the laptop screen.
