Basic commands for controlling windows in Windows are already part of our DNA. The same goes for modifying a process's behavior, and in general, the Task Manager has exactly what we need. However, there are actions that aren't fully available, or rather, not without external help. That's where ForceToolkit comes in, a new tool for controlling windows and processes in Windows by applying parameters the operating system doesn't enable.
If there's a truly frustrating detail in recent Windows versions, it's its tendency to move away from the advanced user. Let's forget for a moment the Windows 11 taskbar fiasco: many background elements can no longer be modified, whether by design or an arbitrary decision (something very common in Redmond). For this reason we continue to depend on tweakers and similar programs: What the operating system denies, we must look for elsewhere.
So we arrive at the gates of ForceToolkit, a new tool that lets us control windows and processes in Windows from a very particular angle. For example, Windows offers snap resources for managing windows, but specifying the exact size in pixels or the position using X/Y coordinates are functions that are conspicuously absent. ForceToolkit makes it possible.
ForceToolkit: Freeware to Control Windows and Processes in Windows
The first step is to select the window we want to control or modify. To do that, we click a special icon inside ForceToolkit, which we use as a pointer. Once the object is recognized, all commands are at our disposal. Depending on the program's characteristics, we can lock its window completely (Force Disable), change the title at the top (Change Window Title), or force it to remain in the foreground regardless of open applications (Set Always on Top).
Other interesting options are ordering a redraw of the window and its content (Force Redraw), completely hiding the window and its objects (Force Hide), terminating processes (Kill/Close), and what I mentioned above: forcing an exact size and position on the desktop (Force Change Position and Size). The values of this last command are in pixels, which turns ForceToolkit into a fabulous window management tool, especially on larger screens.
From multi-monitor environments to streaming sessions, I can think of many applications for a tool like ForceToolkit. The program is freeware, portable, has no dependencies, and behaved very well in VirusTotal analysis (just one false positive). Download a copy!
