Resize/position Windows Explorer window

[theaudioguy]

I can easily open a Windows Explorer to a certain path. I now need to do a couple things with this open window:

1. Reposition the window to the top-left corner of the screen
2. Resize the window to cover the top half of the screen
3. View the files in 'List View' <--I was able to do this step using SendKeys

I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to use API to do this. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Use the SetWindowPlacement Windows API function.

Thanks John for your suggestion.

I was able to use it and the power of Google to find my solution.

I'm glad that helped. Any chance you could post the code? Thanks.

I was working on it I have it scattered every where, so I'm working on consolidating it.

This is almost exactly the problem I'm trying to figure out! Some sample code would be great!

I'm not familiar with the SetWindowPlacement Windows API function. I can open Windos Exlporer with a shell but the focus moves and stops my code. I would love to be able to resize and position it.
