Making VLC start with a pre-set size and position

I had the same problem, since I use a TV for video watching. The VLC refused to remember its screen, which I defined as No. 2, its size and position. Thus, I thought something had been changed in the later versions, but I was wrong.

Windows can remember exactly where and at what size to start VLC if one holds down the Ctrl key and closes the software's window with the X button in the right top corner.

There's one condition, however. It does not work if the VLC window has been maximised. Click the middle button, and set size and position before closing VLC.
