In Windows XP, you should be able to right click in the upper left corner, select properties / layout, and adjust the position of the window. If you change it, you will be prompted to save settings for all future windows with this title.

Thank you ccooper03. I guess I should have been more specific. I meant programatically. I currently hava a script that runs daily and the user needs to see the entire screen but sometimes it is not positioned in the right place and they cant see the information. So what I want to do is at the begining of the script send come command to the cmd windows to position itself at 1,1.
Thanks thought

You need a VBS script as that is not possible via batch commands. Once set up the VBS script can be invoked at the beginning of your batch to tailor the window's look.
