Saving OS X window sizes?

I was wondering if there is a way to save your window sizes. Everytime I re-launch Safari, it isn't the way I left it last time I was using it. Is there a keyboard command or something to save my exact window sizes?

Thanx.
 
Safari bugs me with its handling of window sizes. I suppose you could try opening Safari (first set Safari to open with a blank page), resize how you'd like it, then immediately quit. Relaunch, and see if the change stuck.

What I've found is that Safari resizes its windows to match the contents of the web page currently displayed. This happens if you hit the green maximize button. If you refrain from hitting that button, I'm sure the settings will stick.
 
There is a solution that I have used for a while which works well using java script. Just add a script to your bookmarks bar and type in the resolution size you want - so for my screen (1280x1024) I set it to 1280.

SO - copy and paste the following in a new safari window - and then save it to your bookmarks bar and call it "resize"

javascript:moveTo(0,0);window.resizeTo(1280,screen.availHeight-1)

if you have 1024x768 monitor size, then type 1024 in place of 1280 in the java script.

after you have your window set to the size you want while you are using safari, simply quit safari and it should remember as you last left it. sometimes it doesn't so what I do is make a new safari window, hit my "resize" javascript in the bookmarks bar, make a new tab, and then quit safari, then it remembers what size it was -- hope this helps..
 
You could also stick that into an HTML file and use it as your home page:
PHP: 
<html>
<head>
<title>*Call it what you like*</title>
</head>

<body onload="window.resizeTo(availWidth,availHeight);">
*Add content if you so desire*
</body>
</html>
I forget how right now, but you can also make it switch to your desired home page as soon as it loads, so it'll resize your window and go to Apple.com if that's what you prefer as your home page.
