Please elaborate, it is not clear. What do you intend to do?

Imagine my C# console application being instantiated through double-click on File Explorer: it should appear with the top-left corner positioned at screen position (0, 0).
Nothing special, I just want to have it (the console app) open at a specific screen position ( 0,0 in my case).

Thanks, but it doesn't work.
Try this, and see the window being positioned anywhere:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.SetWindowPosition(0, 0);
var v = Console.ReadLine();
}
