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.
