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

(Toggle Plain Text)

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.

        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);
        }
        

        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);
        }
