The properties or tools of some programs have a facility to 'save previously opened screen position'.
Have a look for properties, tools, options or similar working in the program you are referring to.

You could use a scripting language such as AutoIt v3 (free!) or you could look for shareware programs.
The script below runs a program, waits for a window with the specified title to appaers, then moves the window. It's not bulletproof, but it is customizable. ;See http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/
Opt("WinWaitDelay", 10) ;milliseconds WinWait($winTitle, "", 5) ;seconds to wait If @error Then Exit
WinMove($winTitle, "", $x, $y)

Move the window to where you want it to open, then hold CTRL and hit the X to close it. This makes Windows remember exactly where to open it, based on where it was located on the Desktop last time it was open.
