STAYPUT Ver 1.00
StayPut is a utility program that will run a program in a specified window
state and continuously monitor it resizing it if changed. StayPut command-
line options are as follows:
StayPut [-wdwopt=n] [Drive:\Path\]Program [options..]
Where:wdwopt = window state to StayPut
-1 - Hidden
1 - Minimized
2 - Normal
3 - Maximized
Program = Supplies StayPut with the name of the program to be
run and may optionally contain the Drive and Path
if not in the current directory or in the Dos Path.
The program extension (.exe, .com or .bat) must be
supplied.
Option = Any additional parameters to pass to the program.
These parameters must be in the order the program
expects them.
NOTE: The window state command-line option must be specified
first! All command line options following the program name will
be sent to the program for processing without verification.
When specifying window state, be aware some programs do not properly accept a
startup window state. For example: when specifying WinCim in a maximized
state, the program will only start in a normal state.
For those programs being run in a normal window state, it is best to start
the program without StayPut, adjust the program's normal window size and
position, then exit to allow the program to save its size and position. Since
StayPut will not allow the window to be resized or moved when run, this
allows the program to look the way you want before using StayPut.
Examples:
StayPut -wdwopt=2 c:\cserve\wincim\wincim.exe
Runs WinCim in a normal window
StayPut -wdwopt=3 notepad.exe c:\notice.txt
Runs notepad maximized passing the filename notice.txt
