Can you force Jabber client window to open on launch and set the position?

We auto launch Jabber for our users, however it opens minimized on the user's taskbar in Windows.

Can you force Jabber to initially launch with the window opened?
Also, can you target the initial window position? We would like it to open in the upper right corner of the user's screen on first launch. We are fine with the user's window placement being sticky after that.

For example, like this:

AFAIK none of those are configurable via Jabber settings/parameters

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone has come up with creative ways to accomplish this. Possibly using Windows scripts, registry settings, policies or some other tools (like AppSense).

Not sure about positioning on screen, but add this in your jabber-config file to have it launched in the open.

<DockedWindowVisible>FALSE</DockedWindowVisible>
