How to move an application to a specific position on the screen (cords) ?

I am an existing application. And now I am making another app.
One of the thing it needs to do is move the existing application to the top left of the screen.

So I need some sort of a function that does this;

Find application window (via window title?), move it to a cord. or just top left of the screen and focus the application.

Thanks in advance!

thanks, this code is nice but isnt right for me, because the application has several forms. So it still needs to find out which form(window) to load as this exe has a couple.

If that window has a fixed caption then use the FindWindow() API as jmwheeler has suggested.  Then you can go thru the same procedure I have shown with the resulting hWnd to make it restore and position at the top left.
