Hi everybody!

Is it possible, using AutoHotKey or other methods, to run an application in a certain area of the screen and let it be the only application that is allowed to use that area?

More specifically; I'd like to see for instance my Outlook-inbox all the time. So I'd like to have Outlook open in the top 300 px of my monitor, and only Outlook. So that if I maximize any other application it will maximize only in the area under Outlook.. Of course, I'd like daughter-windows, like Outlook message windows to open outside the 300 px...

So not just "Winset, Alwaysontop", but "Other windows stay away"

Is that possible??

Thanks in advance, guys!!

Do a Google search on Virtual Desktops. Some of them allow
you to create a screen layout where only specific applications
will display in those postitions.

"Winset, Alwaysontop" acts in the z dimension, layers, not x & y.
Maximize, by definition means 'whole screen' This function is done by the system.
A moderately complex script could check the name & class of the active window and watch for the window to be maximized.
If it were maximized, the script could restore it ( 'un-max/un-min' ) and then use winmove to position and size the window.

you might tak a look at Skrommel's "WinWarden"

you might tak a look at Skrommel's "NoClose" it might be changed to disable the maximize button
