If there is another monitor connected, Windows will move all the windows to that monitor and shrink large windows to fit the resolution. If there isn't another monitor connected, it behaves as if there's a lower resolution monitor connected. This won't happen if you set the display to sleep instead of powering it off.

Thank you for clarifying! I've been going nuts trying to figure this out.

It's a shame turning power back on doesn't reset back to the previous sizing.

NVIDIA released a driver update that actually does solve this problem. I can now put windows wherever I want, turn off the monitor, turn it back on, and see the windows where I left them. It's available via Windows Update, at least for Windows 7 machines.
