Hi,

I've been having trouble getting the BOINC manager window to stay the size I had it when I shut down my PC at night. I have BOINC 5.4.11, and almost every morning when I turn on my PC I have to re-size the manager window because it shrinks. Is there any way to keep the manager window a specific size?

Thanks,
Mike

This a known nuisance, but unfortunately rather low on the developers priority of things to do.

Try exiting the manager when it is correctly sized. This normally forces a window status save.

I've tried doing that before I posted this thread. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for the tip anyway.
