The Boinc Manager does not retain its size state after being minimised to tray. It comes back as a little screen instead of the desired dragged out (bottom right window drag fuctionality of windows) screen. Forcing me to enlarge the window manually each time.

Is there a solution to this?

Appreciate some feedback!

This is a known problem with no known solution that works each time.

Just checking, I didn\'t notice the problem. On the other hand, I was given to understand that you don\'t have to minimize the manager, but just close it (Alt-F4 or red cross) and access it from the icon bottom right. This has been standard procedure for some time. A few years ago, this used to shut everything down, and I remember the change surprised me. From what I understand, the manager we can see is just a user interface.
The only time I get the changed window is after restarting a PC. If I want more detail, I resize the window to my liking, ad the changes stick till next restart (which is usually Microsoft\'s patch Tuesday).
