Check to make sure nothing (protection software) is stopping the 2 needed "windowmanger" processes that are needed from starting up with Windows.
I mostly have all this sorted out with a combination of Zmover and WindowManager. WindowManager handles my normal positioning while Zmover handles all the stuff that won't stick - generally the position of my application Windows across my quad monitor setup.
Some things still don't work right, for Example Firefox always creates new windows on monitor 4 even when I drag out a tab to another monitor, but at least it's somewhat functional now. Still it's silly to have to shell out $30 across two applications just to manage your desktop. Hopefully MS will get this sorted out soon or will at least publicly address the topic.
Why aren't thousands of people posting in this topic by now?
Is it because windows 7 sucks so much that people didn't get it again, or is it because everybody uses a single window for the whole os? Or maybe there is a much more popular forum that deals with this thing and I don't know about it?
This was voted "Best Windows Website 2009" so there is no popular Windows based website past this one
Second this issue is neither showstopper or important for that matter. If this issue prevented you from physically using the OS (not mentally) than I would understand.
If you don't like it than either contact Microsoft and complain, use a different OS, or suck it up and learn to live with it. I don't mean to sound harsh but you are thinking only of your issue and not of how this issue relates to the whole...you are being single-minded
