Is there a way

Is there a way of setting a program to always open in a certain screen frame
size, I have two programs that when I open them they are to big for the window (using vista) and I have been told to use them with screen resolution to at least 1024x768. At the moment the only way I can do this is to do it before I start to open them , but can I alter something that they open up in those setting without disturbing other things that I'm using ie this site ???

Is there anything in the Options Menu of the program that allows you to change the settings?

When it opens Wendy carnt see the top of page to see if there is a file edit help part to it so it has to be something I can do before it opens I tried changing it to open in minimised window but it still opened full size ;;
Whats annoying Im sure I had a page where I could alter the setting once before but carnt remember how I got to it

Ok borobabs, please bear with me here....

Firstly, what is the physical size of your screen?

If you don't know, grab a ruler/tape measure and measure the distance from one corner to the oposite corner of the screen (DIAGONALLY). Do not include the plastic outer frame/bezel when messuring.

Then the Native Resolution of your screen is 1280x1024 and this is what your computer should always be set to.

Please check you settings for me and let me know.
