    Hi,
    I'm looking for the ability to lock a specific window of a program (Chatty.exe) so it cannot be moved once opened.
    The program currently opens in the position I want and its' size is also correct. Most of the time I have no issues, but sometimes I accidentally move the window which then requires me to move it back to my desired position again.

    I have looked for solutions to this and some people suggested 'WindowManager' while others have said that doesn't do what I need.

    I did read that you can adjust the Drag & Drop sensitivity using regedit to effectively remove the ability to moves files around on desktop, and wonder if anything like that is possible for what I want?

    I'm pretty sure that this is not possible... But hoping I've missed something somewhere and it is!

    Thanks.

    Thanks for finding that, I didn't think to look within the program itself and initially assumed this feature may be within windows somewhere, available to any program/window, which would be ideal.
    I couldn't find info in their help section relating to locking the window, but did send them an email requesting if it is possible.
