Two displays become one - and some applications can't cope...

I've been using an application called Feedreader to ... well ... read rss feeds for a few months now, and I'm still quite happy with it. Sometimes it seems to have deleted the "read log", so it displays things I've marked as read as unread, but I think that might be due to a problem with my profile.

What has been annoying me though, is the fact that this application can't cope with my switching from two displays to one. At work I have an external display, which I use as a secondary display. I don't always remember to change my display settings from two to one displays before shutting my laptop down. Most applications will start up in the primary display when there's only one display available. But not Feedreader. This one will start up and display the application window at whatever coordinates it had when I closed it down.

I complained about this to Bernt, and being the techie that he is, he suggested I find the feedreader.ini file to change the coordinates. Now, finding this ini file wasn't too easy, but in the end I found it at C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Feedreader\feedreader.ini. I changed the parameters for left and top from 1320 and 20 to 200 and 200 and startet Feedreader. And there it was, at 200 pixels from the top and from the left edge of my screen. Yey. Nice to know. (Yeah, not rocket science, but I post it to remember it later.)
