[slinkelist] Windows staying where you put them

[Dave Kolb]

I certainly do not mean any criticism toward CDJ in this area espcecially
since I am not even using it yet and have no opinion as to how CDJ does
anything yet. It sounds like a great application that the developers are
actively enhancing based on customer feedback. I was just stating that
remembering the positions and state of the outer frame vs. the inner windows
are two different things and most "document-view" MFC applications will
persist their frame state but not that of the internal windows that
represent views on "documents". Usually an app will restart with no previous
documents being viewed. I was just commenting that apps remember what they
want to remember in regards to window positions in the registry...
