How do I change the way new windows are positioned?

My Internet Explorer windows used to appear at the same
vertical position on the desktop but shifted to the
right. I was happy with this.

Then I reloaded XP, and now my new IE windows are
shifting to the right AND DOWN, by the height of the
title bar.

Have you tried positioning a window where you want it and then closing
it through the "X"? That should force the window to reappear in the same
location when you restart the program.

That's how I usually close my windows, and it doesn't
work. I've even tried the CTRL button with the "X"
(which I seem to recall affects window behaviour).
Thanks for the reply, though. :)

I'm tempted to tell you to replace your windows, the glass is simply too
old....
