RE: contacts on desktop sorter
There is no such script because the needed information is stored in the registry under a hashed subkey of the contact's Windows Live id. The hashing method is not made public (also for security reasons) and thus can not be reversed (which is needed for such a script).

If you could reverse the contact hash, you could read the position of the floating window in the registry. You would also need to use Windows APIs to move the floating windows around (and write the new coordinates back to the registry).
