Well... if you want to go fancy there are many features you can take
advantage of...
For example in my application when I close a form I save its coordinates
(Top,Left,Width and Height properties) into the windows registry and the
name of the operator (not windows user, application level operators) and
whenever I want to open a form, after creating it, at loading time before
showing it I go and load back the coordinates from the registry and assign
it to the form then show the form...
This way each user in the application can reposition the forms
according to
his choice and every time he/she opens the form, the form will be displayed
in that place...

Subject: RE: [delphi-en] Dialog On Top-Right?
To add a little to this line of thought:
You might want to look into how many monitors are
connected, and determine whether you want to be at the
top-right of the entire desktop (which can extend
across multiple physical screens) or a particular
screen.
These days, multiple monitors are relatively common. I
run two screens at work (external screen connected to
my laptop), and one screen at home (just the main
laptop screen). It's surprising the number of
applications that have trouble dealing with this.
WinZip, in particular, remembers the location of
dialogs. Except that the dialogs end up off-screen
when I'm at home, since they get remembered as being
on the second screen at work. I've learned a lot of
Windows shortcut keys, like Move, so that I can select
an off-screen window and slide it back onto the
desktop that exists at the time.
It's a bit anal, but something to consider,
particularly if you're preparing software for a more
commercial release.
