no, not exactly. Windows 7 allows you to set the position of the upper
left corner for command line applications if you create a link to them.
Have a look at the layout tab of a link's properties dialog.

For GUI applications there is no such thing that I know of, but you can
try to put a line like the following in your _vimrc:

winpos 1600 0

This should move Vim's window 1600 pixels to the right. If your primary
monitor is on the right you can also use negative coordinates to move
the window to the left monitor.

Jürgen
