Desktop Automation

[J03Z]

Hey Team,

I am in need of a little direction with this new script idea I have begun to work on so that I can gain better understanding of this language. I am fully aware that this program may have been created several times but I am unable to find any useful post based on my searches.

1.The Idea of the program is to give the user the ability to select the programs they would like to startup when windows load.

2.Give the user the ability to save the current window cordinates to an .ini file or such.

3.Save settings.

When the user restarts the computer, it automaticaly loads all programs selected and position them based on information selected by user.

I have coded majority of the buttons exluding the "Save Pos"(need a method for saving positions of the progams selected).

I have browsed the help file, and found some interesting functions but need alittle more assistance. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Below is the code for what I have completed so far.
