We have been through multiple versions of Windows.
Thankfully, the free WinSize2 utility can help with that.
Thus, to use it, you will have todownload the app from the official WinSize2 site.
After you download and install it, you won’t see anything on your screen.
The app will run in the background, hidden from sight, waiting for your input.
As we’ll see next, its interface will be accessible from an icon in the window tray.
Before you access WinSize2’s interface, we should warn you that it looks ancient.
That’s because, well, it is ancient.
WinSize2 was released over a decade ago, but that’s not a negative.
We also ought to mention two alternatives: Snap Layouts and PowerToys' FancyZones.
You will see a hovering bubble with its version and active hotkey.
WinSize2 works even on multi-monitor setups.
However, it might not be enough for true visual organization of your workspace.
Try moving it around and closing it.
For that, you will have to pay a visit to WinSize2’s main window.
Locate WinSize2’s icon in the Windows tray and double-hit it.
In it, you will find entries for all the rules WinSize2 created for various windows.
Each entry is named after the title of the window it targets.
That’s because those numbers define a window’s placement on the screen.
The second set of numbers defines the width and height of the window.
Thankfully, WinSize2 allows you also to keep your icon positions.
It can even save different icon arrangements for different monitor resolutions.
There, ensureAuto check of icon positions after loginandCheck icon positions after changed screen resolutionare enabled.
you’re able to also use theSave Icon positionsbutton here to secure your current desktop icons setup.
Remember to click theOKbutton afterward to save any changes you make.
You don’t have to visit WinSize2’s window whenever you want to back up your icon positions.
This action is also accessible through its tray icon’s right-click menu.
Instead, it’s an intelligent script that continuously monitors any window on the screen.
If the window matches one of WinSize2’s rules, it moves and resizes it accordingly.
Thankfully, the app has minimal overhead and doesn’t present annoying nag screens bugging you to register.
Pay a visit to theSpecialtab of its window.
There, ensure thatStart WinSize2 with Loginis enabled.
With that option checked, WinSize2 will run automatically every time you get in to your desktop.
Until it does, WinSize2 will have a place in every Windows installation.
