Try this,, right click on the shortcuts select Prop. and set them up the way you
want them...
besure to use a new name for ea. of them
i.e. cdma,cmdb ,etc.
Target: C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe
Start in: C:\
Start in: or what every
and
LayOut folder
Uncheck Let System Position Window
then you can setup the Window Position.
hope this helps a bit
