When I open my app under DOSbox, It opens in a window as I'd like, but the window is always toward the right of the screen, dragged a bit off the desktop.

Is there a way to have the window open properly centered?

(I'm using overlay as output)

Have you tried moving the window to where you want it? Mine opens where I left it last time.

Yes, I move it each time, but it never remembers the location.

That's a Windows problem. I think deleting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2 and then logging out and back in will solve it.

Yes, it’s my fault.

How safe is it to delete these keys? Will they automatically get recreated?

I'm pretty sure that's the case, but you should always backup just in case.
