I have a script that resets most of the main windows due to the fact that I work on a dual monitor at work and sometimes port scripts to my laptop to work on the train. There may be access to some more via the ini that i havent found too.

inipath = getMAXIniFile()
setINISetting inipath "MtlEditorPosition" "MainWindow" "0 0 375 734"
setINISetting inipath "RenderVFBPosition" "Position" "0 0"
setINISetting inipath "MaterialBrowserDialogPosition" "Dimension" "0 0 340 600"
setINISetting inipath "EnvironmentDialogPosition" "Dimension" "0 0 350 580"
setINISetting inipath "RenderDialogPosition" "Dimension" "0 0 360 750"
setINISetting inipath "mentalrayMessagesPosition" "Dimension" "0 0 600 400"
setINISetting inipath "RenderPresetsCategoryDialogPosition" "RenderPresetsCategoryDialogDimension" "0 0 210 280"
setINISetting inipath "LayerDialog" "Dimension" "0 0 428 543"

run this and the next time you open it they should be back to 0,0.
