Window Positioner Extension
Window Positioner runs when Chrome starts and will launch the specified pages in new windows, and then close the window with your home page (or new tab page).
You can set the width and height of each window, along with the position on the window. All dimensions are in pixels. You may also specify that a window should start in \"full screen\" mode.
This extension is particularly useful for kiosk-mode applications, where you would like a particular web page to open full screen when the browser starts. You may also wish to add Chrome to your start-up programs, so that the web page will appear automatically after booting the computer.
