When I open IE7 the new window opens with the left bottom of the frame in
the left bottom of the screen and I always want to move it more towards the
middle. Can I change the Registry to force new windows to open it in the
middle of the screen instead?

Hi

Try this:

Drag the window to the size you want it, then drag that window to where you
want to see it on the screen. Close that window via File Close/Exit, then
re-open it.

That will only work until some Evil Website Designer codes his page
to maximize or resize the window. Five minutes of web-surfing,
perhaps, ha.

I use a javascript tweak called Windows Resizer. It adds "Resize
Browser Window" to the right-click context menu of IE window. It's
truly a god-send. One of the li'l tweaks I can't surf without!
