WideServer can load programs for you, but it is probably better done with FSUIPC. It's a matter of editing the INI file -- for FSUIPC it is described in the Advanced User's Guide, or made simpler by Jose Oliveira's nice utility "FSUIPC Run Options" available from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.

On a Client PC, you add entries to the WideClient.ini file to get it to load programs. See WIDEFS.DOC. You can use "Run" or "RunReady" parameters to load immediately or load when FS is ready.

But in either case there are no facilities for moving windows about. This sounds like some sort of mouse and key sequence. I'm afraid there's nothing in WideFS or FSUIPC which will do that. Doesn't the program remember where it should be and do this itself? If this is Project Magenta's PFD it certainly should do -- I have three copies running on one Client PC using three screens on a Parhelia, and each one (Captain's PFD/ND, Eicas and First Officer's ND/PFD) come up on their correct screen in the correct size, each time WideClient loads them.
