I have a very simple question about XP Pro.

When I bring a window up onto the desktop, how can I reposition it
permanently ??
 
Not sure if this is what you want, but position your windows where you want
them, then using the X (close window) in the upper right corner of your
screen, close the window. Then reopen it to see if that setting remained
into memory.

Click to expand...

Some applications remember their positions when you close them. For
those that don't you could create a simple macro to open the
application and position it's window. This macro was created with
Macro Scheduler ( http://www.mjtnet.com/macro_scheduler.htm ):

Run Program>Notepad.exe
WaitWindowOpen>Untitled - Notepad
MoveWindow>Untitled - Notepad,10,10

This opens Notepad and positions it. You could also resize it with
ResizeWindow. So you could create a macro like this for each
application you want to always open in a specific place. You could
also replace the shortcut to the application with a shortcut to the
macro so that the way you work doesn't change.
