Sharon is missing two points: that this is not a secondary window, and
this is new behaior in IE7 (IE6 always remembered the last-closed
window position correctly).

I understand and accept the opening one notch down for a second IE
window, but why won't IE7 open in the same position as when I last
closed the last IE7 window? I have been forced to use a "special"
button on my links bar to force the window to the right half of my
screen, which is my preference. The shortcut is a simple
resize/reposition for the right half of a 1920x1600 display:
javascript:resizeTo(963,1200);moveTo(960,0)

I used the same shortcut with IE6 from time to time when my default
position was "forgotten", but now with IE7, I have to use it EVERY time
I open a browser... Why?

Thanks,
David
