I've adjusted the BOINC Manager window position and the size of the individual columns under the various tabs. If I exit out of BOINC Manager and then fire it up again -- or reboot the computer -- the BOINC Manager window size is shortened (horizontally). I then have to resize the window. Closing BOINC Manager gracefully (File \| Exit) has at least kept the column widths "sticky" from one reboot to the next. Any ideas about the app window size? Thank you. LSG ID: 11795 ·

Using file->exit will sometimes save the settings but is not reliable. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 ID: 11805 ·

That works for me as long as I don't reboot the computer - a lot to ask for a Windows XP box! I have desktop machine and a laptop, neither of which ever preserves window width of BOINC Manager after a reboot, even after a file/ exit. ID: 11806 ·

Ah, I had this problem just crop up, with the latest upgrade of the Boinc Manager to 6.2.14 (Running on Windows XP Professional). The previous release did not display this, er, feature.
