Usage to align window on my dual screen, screen 2 1920x1080

First of all open the visual studio code.

Then run the Windows PowerShell as administrator.

Then enable the code execution using the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy remotesigned

load the script:

. .\Set-Windows.ps1

Set-Window -ProcessName Code -X -1820 -Y 100 -Width 1720 -Height 880 -Passthru
Set-Window -ProcessName Chrome -X -1827 -Y 100 -Width 1735 -Height 890 -Passthru
Set-Window -ProcessName PowerShell -X -1827 -Y 100 -Width 1735 -Height 890 -Passthru

This works well for applications like Chrome, but it doesn't work for Windows File Explorer (explorer.exe) windows. Do you have any advice for setting the size and position for explorer windows?
