Create way for customer to clear window coordinates when forms don't open on screen for their users

Vista stores the window coordinates for our various forms in a table within the Viewpoint database. There are times when these stored coordinates will reference a location off screen which causes end users to believe the Vista client has stopped responding.

Requesting a new form (or tab to existing form) be added to the Viewpoint Administration module to allow Viewpoint administrators to clear these coordinates for their users as currently it is required to run a delete statement in SQL Server Management Studio. I envision a form where you would first perform a lookup generated from all users in the backing table, then a second lookup which would list all forms associated with that user, then finally a Reset Coordinates button which would delete the window coordinates for that selection.

    It could be like the Printer/Viewer Options tab in Report Titles (RPUP). It seems like I have to delete a DDFU record for someone once a month.

    Or perhaps Viewpoint could check the coordinates when it opens a form, and if they do not fall on an active screen, reset the coordinates?

    If you're running windows 8 and above (maybe windows 7) if you press Win + Left or Right arrow a couple of times it will move it into view.
