The Mission: to use DisplayFusion's "Window Management" feature to resize and move (Windows Explorer) Folder A Top Left, Folder B to Center Left, Folder C to Bottom Left.

Is there a way to make this happen using Command Line to differentiate between the different folders?

This is an itch I've been wanting to scratch for years... Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

It's not possible to do using just DisplayFusion, but I can likely create an AutoHotKey script that can be used in conjunction with DisplayFusion to do this.

Could you manually launch, move and size the explorer windows to the locations you want, and send me a full size screenshot (not scaled down) so that I can get a reference as to where you want each one placed?

Thanks!

Oh wow, that would be awesome Kieth. Thanks!

I am already using AHK for some really simple stuff, but I've been really wanting to learn how to use it to position and size windows. If you could show me the basics on how to do that, that would be incredible!

I've attached the screenshot of the desktop window arrangement.

The size of the windows is 578 W x 388 H

Thanks again so much!

Sorry, we were out of the office most of last week. I'll hopefully have a chance to get to this later this week :)

Ok, I've whipped up a basic example. You can adjust the folder paths, sleep times and co-ordinates/sizes as needed. The attached only has two folders, but you can copy each block of code to add a new folder :)

Let me know if you have any questions!
