- Well, I don't like it because it doesn't save settings for new stuff.
- Sure if you set up the windows exactly the way you want and then exit
- to dos you'll get the same thing when you load up again. It does not
- however let you have defaults. If I were to open up another directory
- window in overlapping mode it will default to the same annoying
- window size. and covers a location on the desktop that I need to be
- able to see. It's a pain to have to resize and re-position a window
- everytime you open a new one.
-
- If you have a setup you like to use often and one day you exit to dos
- when your setup has changed the next time you boot up you get the
- changed setup not the setup you like. I use a little thing I found
- called save state or something. It saves the state of the desktop.
- So if you have one you like you can always restore it.
