So second try in the right thread I hope.
Thank you Darkweasel, You are right, I'm using windows 7. I forgot about the alt space, and that works perfectly. I can move the file to the center of Windows, but even when I save the file. When I reopen the file, it will again be at the same place off windows. I can live with that but it would be nice if the window would open where it is supposed to open. Do you have any other idea how to fix it? Thank you very much for your answer. Jake
I don't really know either, but looking at some Inkscape SVGs I see that it's possible to save the last window position in the sodipodi:namedview element. Try the following:
- find a file called default.svg in your Inkscape installation directory (apparently in share\templates on Windows, on Unix-like systems it's in /usr/share/inkscape/templates). If you use a localized version, pick default.LANGCODE.svg instead (e.g. default.de.svg) - edit it using a text editor - find the sodipodi:namedview element - add attributes inkscape:window-height, inkscape:window-width, inkscape:window-x and inkscape:window-y to it (or change them if they are already there), with values that make the window fit on your screen (for example: inkscape:window-height="600", etc) - save the file
I have not tested this though, so it might not work at all.
Thanks again Darkweasel for your suggestion. I guess I'm out of luck unless anyone sees something wrong in the setup below. This is how I changed the default.svg and I still have to top part of the file off window Jake

Just to report back, I got Inkscape back into the window. I have 2 screens, one landscape and one portrait. Inkscape started on the landscape window and was partly off screen. I could drag one side of the Inkscape window onto the portrait screen and there I could see the top part and therefore move it around. So I got the menus back and went to preferences and there I could select on the windows option "Don't save window geometry" That did the trick. Again thanks Darkweasel, it's good to know there are people who try to help. Makes you feel not quite so alone with these problems Jake
