WinSize2 --- Moving and Resizing of Windows
WinSize2 can move windows automatically to a predefined place and / or Resize the width and/or height to a predefined size.
It identifies the Windows to move/resize according to its window title. Each time the window is opened (new created) WinSize2 compares the title to an internal list of title which are to be acted apon. When the window is still registered (in most cases: on screen or minimized) the appearance is not changed also if position / size was changed by the user.

- The place / size of the actual window is learned by WinSize2 by pressing a hotkey once (the English standard: "Ctrl+Alt+Z"). WinSize2 inserts the window title into its internal list or overwrites existing parameters.
- Pressing the hotkey twice (within 1 Second): deletes the program title from the list
- Pressing the hotkey a three times: Set options for this title or for WinSize2

Always on Top
(NB: There was a WinSize before, but all links I've found to download the program were broken (Page not available) and the latest update for WinSize 1.6 beta was from 1998. I've read years ago that the author of the program had lost his sources at a computer crash and was not willing to reconstruct those.)
So I decided - as I needed new features that were not covered by WinSize - to write a WinSize2 myself. WinSize2 was started in 2005 as project written in Autohotkey (AHK). So WinSize2 runs on all OSes where AHK runs.
WinSize2 is distributed as an EXE file (compiled by AHK).
A documentation in English and German is available as PDF and included in the package.
