| Re: How do i set a fixed window size for application shortcuts | Mr. Lucid | 10/24/09 11:55 PM | I am also looking for the same answer. I can't seem to locate such a setting anywhere. I assume it does not exist. If it does, then it is not documented (that I can tell). I agree with the example you suggested sgmbest12321. It would make sense |

| Re: How do i set a fixed window size for application shortcuts | DJTentman | 1/28/10 4:54 AM | This works in some cases, but if you resize that program and close it, you lose the setting. Also if you go between and external monitor and a laptop screen, these settings are lost. |

| Re: How do i set a fixed window size for application shortcuts | xyzzy409 | 6/28/11 11:12 AM | I don't think there are any Chrome startup flags that let you specify window size.

| Re: How do i set a fixed window size for application shortcuts | ZeroJoJo | 6/28/11 7:55 PM | Thank you Xyzzy409, this was indeed helpful. It is quite baffling that chrome does not support the size and location shortcut switch. I can only hope they add it in later versions. |
