Window size and position
I would like to find out why doesn't Uninstall Tool save it's size and position? It feels like it saves the size and position during register procedure and uses it after.
Is it possible to make Uninstall Tool startup always maximized?

The program restores last window position and maximized state for years. You should check if it can save its settings (some system problem?)

Re: Window size and position
Steven, yes. I've bought SSD, reinstalled Windows with AHCI mode enabled and downloaded the newest version. Windows user is in Administrators group, UAC's disabled.
I've entered registration when window wasn't maximized, if it helps.

Thank you for the report. I recommend removing the preferences file and run the program again. Does it save the size/state after that?

Re: Window size and position
Steven, no. I've tried different variants from clicking on other tabs to changings some options in preferences menu - it appears not maximized again.

Re: Window size and position
Window_nHeight and Window_nWidth were zeros and you put ones?

Re: Window size and position

The program works correctly on our Windows 7 X64.
1. Does it save other preferences? Toolbars positions for example.
2. If yes, could you please run this version with /log parameter? It will output some lines when closing the program. Try closing it in normal state with changed width/height/position, and in maximized state. Thank you.

This is all very strange, it saves "Interface_Language" for example.
FYI: Uninstall Tool does not save window position if you start it with command line or context menu "Install and Trace"
