Nope, sorry Richard, it can't be obtained correctly from the registry. I 
know, I've tried. There's a specific API call for it. See:
http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2003-December/027437.html

Also, unfortunately, the RevIDE resets the windowBoundingRect on 
startup, so one is not able to get the true value within the IDE.

But, I've found it's pretty easy in a standalone to 'popup' windows 
above the taskbar by checking the windowBoundingRect on startup.

best,

Chipp
