If you don't mind not having a title bar, then you can set the form border style to none. The user will not be able to move the form.

i tried this on VS 2005

namespace WindowsApplication1

{

    public partial class Form1 : Form

    {

        public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

            this.Location = new Point(300, 300);

        }



        //LocationChanged Event

        private void Form1_LocationChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)

        {

            this.Location = new Point(300, 300);

        }

    }

}

Question: wh do you want to do this? Denying users the ability to move windows around to their liking is a quick way to have them delete your program.

edit: oops sorry didn't see samjack already had something like this

 
 
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
 
            //gotta set up the event handler for the move event of the form
            this.Move += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Move);
        }
 
        //handle the move event
        private void Form1_Move(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //put the form right back where it was 
            this.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(50, 50);
        }
