Any way to change window startup position?

Is there any way that I can change the position where MS Calculator Plus
opens when I start the program? It opens on the upper left side of the
screen but it would be much more convenient and quicker for me to use if it
opened in the lower right side
Thanks,
Bob.

No

I'm afraid you're going to have to keep a reserve of energy avaiable so
that you don't overextend yourself dragging it to where you'd prefer it to
be.

Why is it that most any well behaved program will reopen at the postion and
size you last used it, but many (most?) of the Windows applets open at
seemingly random positions. Even the blooming clock in the Notification
area opens up at the opposite corner of the screen?

Can it get more user hostile? Does M$ think our mice don't get enough
exercise?

Oops, the clock thing is in XP. At least Vista got this half right. When
you click the clock, the full clock/calendar opens right by the notification
area. But guess where the Change Settings dialog opens up......

I guess I'll have to take Al Gore's advise and buy some carbon credits?

Bob - it's just possible that this might give you something - the OP
resolved the problem (at the foot of that page) by finding a ".props" file
with:
APP_HEIGHT=608
APP_WIDTH=808
WINDOW_Y=-4
WINDOW_X=-804
so you might find the properties stored somewhere and be able to edit them.
It would be wise to backup any such file so you can revert to it if you mess
up.
