The freeware Auto Window Manager adds additional functionality to the way windows manages the windows it displays. You could for instance customize that whenever a program opens it opens in maximized, minimized or default state. This setting should work with most programs and windows, i tried it with firefox and thunderbird for example.
That is of course not all that auto window manager can do. It is able to change the way windows reacts when you click on the minimize button. You may send minimized windows to the tray instead of sending them to the task bar. This is great if you want to run a program in the background and don’t want that it wastes some space in the task bar. You may also configure windows to stay on top all of the time.
Another nice option is the transparency one that gives you a similar transparency effect that windows vista ships with. You may choose a transparency rate between 0% which means no transparency to 100% which means absolutely transparent.
Last but not least you may specify a location where the windows should appear on your desktop. All options are accessible when you right-click the window.

Hello,
very nice tool … but it seems to be no freeware!!
Sorry about that!
it is freeware, quote from their homepage: Auto Window Manager is a freeware product, this means that you can download and use it for free.
It displays a nag screen every time you run it.
If it’s freeware, why can you register it for EUR 12.25?
