How can you configure the various Windows 3.0 application to come  up sized
corretly?  I know I can  start  the clock by  setting  the run= setting  in
WIN.INI  but  I would also  like to size  it appropriately, place it  in  a
specific place and remove the decorations.  When I  start clock it comes up
as a large (too large!) digitial clock.  I constantly have  to resize it to
be small and place it in the lower right corner, where I want it to reside.
Can  I modify settings  in WIN.INI so  that it comes  up that way?  Also, I
would like to  remove (or at  least make  much  tinier)  the title bar  and
buttons and perhaps remove the "Settings" menubar as I don't what to change
the settings once I've started it.

I would  also like to  size, place and alter  things on  other applications
(such as the progman,  solitare, etc) but  it is not  clear to me from  the
online help, how to do this.
