I'm used to W7 remembering the last known positions of all of my open windows, but lately (and I can't recall what change may have prompted this) every window opens in a maximized state, and upon restoring it, always sizes down to the default window size, jammed right into the upper-left corner...

Hi everyone, I'm not quite sure how to describe this problem. I use alt-tab constantly to switch between applications. Sometimes I know I just want to switch back and forth between two apps, so that's just a quick punch of the keys, no visual aid necessary. However, there are other times when...
