Setting window startup position

Most of my windows programs start in a nice neat place. However, I have
some bad boys that don't. They start in positions that obscure things like
the minimize, maximize, close buttons; or the side or bottom scroll bar is
not visible; and so on. Is there a way to set the startup position of a
programs window to where I want it to be instead of where it wants to be.

Frustrated,
Dan Hacker

Re: Setting window startup position

Are you saying they're partially off screen? I'd check the hardware
manufacturer's web site for the latest graphics adapter driver.

Re: Setting window startup position

I guess that is what I'm saying. They are starting up "off-center" with
parts of the window off the screen edge.

My but you're up early, and thanks for the reply,

Re: Setting window startup position

It could be the operating is unaware of the actual desktop space because of
incorrect driver or it's also possible the application is at fault.
