I updated my guide for lost windows! At the end I have added the names 
of the windows I know. Maybe Paul can add the missed. Don't forget that 
it is your responsibility to edit the config.txt

1.Go to file>preferences and write your configuration file.
2.Close the dx4win
3.Go to directory dx4w903/save
4.Rename config.dat to config_old.dat
5.Edit with notepad (not with word) the file config.txt which is in 
dx4w903/save directory
6.At the end of the file there are several sections with the first 
letter W (example[W-BANDMAP])looking something like
[W-BANDMAP]
HEIGHT=985
LEFT=1681
TOP=100
WIDTH=275

7.Find the window you are interesting (see at the end for details which 
window is what), for example Bandmap window is [W-BANDMAP]
8.Change the value of Left and Top to zero (0). For example
[W-BANDMAP]
HEIGHT=985
LEFT=0
TOP=0
WIDTH=275

9.Save the config.txt
10.Run dx4win
11.Go to file>preferences and Load configuration file
12.Load dx4903/save/config.txt (the file you just saved)
13.Now the window opens on the left-upper corner.  Move it where you want
14.Write again (file>preferences>Write Configuration file)your 
config.txt and keep it as a backup for the future.
15.Don't forget to open your own log again as dx4win loaded the Samplelog!
16.If something that you don't like happens, close to dx4win, go to 
dx4w903/save directory and rename config_old.dat to config.dat
