It's not that the renegade Windows apps have a mind of their own when it
comes to positioning themselves on the desktop (both place and size); it's
just that they aren't smart enough to remember.  For such apps, you'll need
an external app that will do the remembering for them.  In SIMTEL20 (and
its mirror sites), you'll find in directory WINDOWS3 a program caled
(caled=called) SIZER110.ZIP (23598 bytes).  What you have to do with this,
if memory serves, is run the sizer program minimized, load the offending
app, resize and position it where you would like it to be for future
sessions, and then call upon sizer again and fill in the blanks.  I may
be wrong on the exact procedure, but documentation is included to help
you along.  That's the only sizer program I could find at SIMTEL20.
Another excellent place to look for Windows programs is FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU
(129.79.20.84) where the selection is often superior.
