SUMMARY
In Microsoft Works for Windows, if a workspace is saved with one or more documents minimized in specific locations, the icon locations revert to the lower-left corner of the screen the next time you minimize the documents.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Open two or three documents in Works for Windows.
 * 2) Minimize all the documents, then move the icons to locations other than the default positions.
 * 3) From the File menu, choose Save Workspace.
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Exit Works. Restart Works. (When you restart Works, the documents flash briefly on the screen before becoming icons in the positions established in step 2.)
 * 5) Restore one of the documents from its icon and then minimize it again. (The icon appears at the lower-left corner of the window, rather than the position established in step 2.)

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 2.0 of Works for Windows. This problem has been corrected in Works for Windows 2.0a.
