First open IE7 Window placement

First open IE7 Window placement
Wed, 25 Oct 2006 01:17:01 -070
When I open an IE7 window, and no others are open, I like it to open at a 
specific location on my desktop.  In IE6 I could open a single window, click 
on page object that ran some javascript to move the window and resize it, 
then close the window and the next window would open at that location with 
additional windows cascading from it.  With IE7, this no longer works and 
first IE7 window is constantly moving to decending locations in the windows 
cascading progression, which is obviously a bug.

If the size/location of a window is changed with window.moveTo or 
window.resizeTo and then the window is closed, the size/location are no 
longer being saved (the bug).  The only way that I've been able to ge them to 
save is via manually moving the window and resizing it.  Is there any way to 
do this programatically now?  If I can't do it with script, is there a way to 
do it in C#/C++?  I haven't been able to find where this information is store 
in the registry either.
