Any way to automatically load window config file on launch?

I have a laptop that has lower resolution than my desktop. I've made a separate default window configuration file for it, which I can load from the options menu when I play a character there, just as I have one for my desktop. But the annoying thing is having to do that when I play on the laptop versus on the desktop. Because I have to do it twice: once when I play on the laptop, once when I play on the desktop. Even if I don't bother loading it on the laptop because I'm just checking my auctions, I still have to load it again on the desktop as the smaller screen resolution of the laptop pushed all the windows out of position.

Is there any way I can make CoH automatically load the file on launch so I don't have to bother mucking about with the menus?

No need for messing with the Menus. On the laptop, type /wdwsave to save your options. Create a macro by typing /macro wdw wdwload

This will create a macro button labeled wdw that you can click to quickly load the laptop settings.

Do the same on the desktop so that you can have a macro on the desktop as well. Much faster than going through the menus

I don't think there is a way to make it autoload a window settings file on launch, but I could be wrong.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

No, there is no way to auto-load different settings on already-established characters. The only time the game auto-loads settings from wdw is upon character creation or during a window load bind/macro/options press.

After typing /wdwsave on both the laptop and desktop, if you're more of a keyboard person, you can change that macro to a bind (e.g. "/bind F12 wdwload") and it'll function the same way but a keypress instead of a mouseclick.

You could save the relevant registry entries and then create a windows command script to load those settings and then the launcher.

That will do nothing to rearrange the windows inside the game, which is what the OP wants. He doesn't want two window sizes on one computer, he wants one resolution size per computer that has a different in-game window layout for each.
