Feb 13, 2012 at 0:18 comment added Mike Honeychurch @acl yes it seems so. I was surprised when I tried to do it and couldn't find the global option.
Feb 13, 2012 at 0:02 comment added acl @Mike that is a strange omission....
Feb 12, 2012 at 23:59 comment added Mike Honeychurch @acl I actually asked Tech Support about this a week or so ago after I couldn't figure out how to answer a question re: default size and positioning of notebooks. They advised it is not possible to globally set default size and position for new notebooks. (whereas you can for various dialogs as above)
Feb 12, 2012 at 13:38 comment added acl @David I don't know. I tried to change things like DefaultNotebook in the past but could not get it to work. I would very much like to know, too, for the same reason as you.
Feb 12, 2012 at 11:44 comment added Mike Honeychurch Unfortunately it is not possible to set a global default size and position for each new notebook that is created. So the 1/3 screen for the help browser is possible but not the 2/3 screen for the notebook.
Feb 12, 2012 at 6:46 comment added David Thank you, that's very helpful already. All that's left is now doing this for a new notebook as well. Would there be some way of having some autorun commands for each new nb created?

Feb 12, 2012 at 4:03 comment added Mr.Wizard Confirmed to work. It does not work after positioning only the Documentation Center page, but after position another window, that one also comes up in the new location.
