Have you looked at _WinAPI_GetClientRect?

This one returns the current Size and Position, I'm looking for a way to retrieve the default / initial values. As far as I can see it's not possible to obtain these values, seems like they're not stored anywhere accessible

1) This is an option which users can set. Windows keeps track of the window size and location on a per-window basis, might also be per-application basis.
2) If this option is enabled, the data is stored somewhere in the registry.
Tip: CCleaner can delete these registry values for you. If you enable this as the only option in CCleaner, it will tell you which registry keys it has deleted. From there it is probably much easier to figure out a way to read the values yourself.

Thanks for this hint. As far as I can see these registry values contain size & position of OS related windows like explorer and control panel windows only. Also I found a ref that this has been changed in Vista+, so I guess no luck here.

I've the solution for you:
-download regshot
-install it
-make a first snapshot changing directory to C:/ (and stop all process that could modify the registry as AVs)
-open the program, move the window
-make a second snapshot
-compare
-see what has been modified and where and if it is the window's position then you found it

If you were to create a hidden window with that call, using the CW_USEDEFAULT constant for x,y,w,h
and used wingetpos, would that not give you the default position?
