Can anyone tell me how to control where the quick time viewer (used when launching a quicktime movie) will pop up on the screen. Currently, it pops up in the upper right had corner of my monitor. I would like it to pop up in the middle of the screen. Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreicated? I am thinking there must be some kind of control because I have had the viewer also pop up in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

Thanks

Seems to me quicktime opens to the last closed position, no? If so you;d have to fish about and try to find where that data gets stored and then possibly alter it at runtime?

No easy way to do this unless you embed your quicktime into an HTML and the launch it in a javascript pop-up In that case it's easy to center it. You can use any of the fine free Dreamweaver extensions such as Advanced Open Window to do this if you have Dreamweaver. If not use a free code generator such as this one:
