Re: "Start program on connection": It isn't centered



I've seen problems like this is non-TS scenarios. For example, in certain browsers, a Download File dialog will popup in the upper left corner of the screen rather than the center if the browser is minimized between the time the download link is clicked and the time the box appears. I suspect it is a bit of weirdness with an API call in Windows proper. I don't know the precise cause unfortunately, and I don't know if workarounds exist.

You'll probably want to try a more general Windows programming group for this question.

No -- if you connect to the desktop, then launch the program, the login dialog box is centered normally.

What about if you "just run it" in a TS session, rather than using the auto launch scripts? Does it still exhibit the cosmetic weirdness?

Hi all,

Windows 2003 Server TS question. I have program that is launched automatically upon connection. The program has a smallish login window that is supposed to be centered on the screen. However, it isn't; it's displayed at the upper left inside the remote desktop connection window. Once my user logs in to the program, it runs normally, so it's not a functional issue, just a cosmetic one.

I realize that this is not the biggest issue in the world, but it *is* embarrassing. How can I get TS to launch the program with its window centered??

(Of course, the program login screen *is* always centered correctly if you just run it not through a TS session.)

Thanks!

C17
