   I am running xp sp2.   
      
   Two applications have a problem, in that the window seems to appear   
   off-screen. Clicking the tile on the taskbar of the app doesn't help.   
   Neither does resizing my desktop resolution. Loggin in as a differenmt   
   user fixes it, but I want to use my main user on this box.   
   The two apps doing this are .net messenger (since I upgraded from MSN   
   messenger) and now µtorrent.   
   For a while I have found Irfanview Thumbnails has produced a very wide   
   window, running off the screen to the right when restored. This might be   
   a similar problem.   
      
   I suspect it is somehow caused by The Halflife2 Steam application, as   
   that resizes the screen, and seemed to crash µtorrent, but I am not sure.   
      
   Is it a registry problem? Can I reset all windows to default startup   
   positions somehow?
