Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5G SR6
Operating System: winxp

I have following annoying problem.
Every time I start the Code Builder the window size is set back to standard, so I have to resize the window anew. Maximizing is not a solution because the window is maximized only to one of two monitors I use.

How can change the start window settings?

I forgot something.
If I start a saved Origin project the window settings are restored from the last time. But if I start Code Builder the setting are always the same - they are saved somewhere. The question is where.

Sorry, but I can't reproduce that problem. The size and position of each open file window as well as that of the CodeBuilder window itself are preserved when I restart Origin. (Whether or not I saved the project.)

FYI: Size and position of open files are saved in the Workspace file (*.ocw). Size and position of CodeBuilder's program window are saved as OIDE in the WinPos section of Origin.ini.

...BTW, I also use 7.5SR6 but only have one monitor.

I located two origin.ini files: in the user folder and in the programm folder

The original section [winpos] was:

[WinPos]
Origin=0 0 790 678

I suppose that the first two coordinates are of the upper left corner. The second two should be the size.

I changed it to:

[WinPos]
Origin=0 0 1024 768
; Origin=0 0 790 678

But no matter what I did, the window of a new project still appears in the middle of the first monitor and has the size of nearly 800x500 pixels.

Might there be a problem in the case I'm working without admin rights??

Yes, the one you want is in your user folder (%Y=). The last two numbers are actually the coordinates of the lower right corner. The Origin key specifies the coordinates of the main Origin program window. Codebuilder's coordinates are save as OIDE.

Thise settings work fine:
Origin=0 0 1024 768
OIDE=0 0 1024 768

Setting 1024 to 2048 to extend the window over two monitors results in Origin starting with default small window.

The interesting thing is that this setting:
ScriptWindow=1088 130 1992 711
(it was already in the ini file) results in a script window over two monitors. But it doesn't work for Origin.

I'll give it up.
