Use ShellExecute(...) API "A robust program is resistant to errors -- it either works correctly, or it does not work at all; whereas a fault tolerant program must actually recover from errors."

[David Crow]

This might work, but you'll want to test it thoroughly in any case:

DWORD dwProcId;
HINSTANCE hInstance = ShellExecute(...);

hWnd = FindWindow(NULL, NULL);
while (NULL != hWnd)
{
if (GetParent(hWnd) == NULL)
{
if (hInstance == GetWindowThreadProcessID(hWnd, &dwProcId))
{
MoveWindow(hWnd, ...);
break;
}
}

hWnd = GetWindow(hWnd, GW\_HWNDNEXT);

}

Did you look at the MoveWindow() function? The parameters are self explanatory. MoveWindows(..., left, top, width, height, ...);
