desktop mode

[FCC]

Hello all,

I would like to get a functionality for the Windows XP desktop like the 
desktop-mode has in Emacs. I can schedule a task in WinXP, but the 
programs start on top of each other with no respect for the specific 
window settings they were used the last time with. Is there any simple 
way of doing it or is there a utility for WinXP which can handle this?

Thanks for your time.
