What I'm using for my windows and layout management is the Window Layout Manager, or WiLMA for short (hey, as developers we're allowed to invent a dozen new acronyms each day and we like that little perk!). The following page provides a more detailed outline of what the Window Layout Manager does and how I use it. The Window Layout Manager is a small 500K application, written in C# and using The .NET framework 2.0 and higher, using a lot of imports from user32.dll and avoids any unsafe code. But I bet you could care less about THAT. :-)
