Harvey,
one possibility is:
If[$Linked, (* do nothing for kernel-only sessions *)
RunScheduledTask[
FrontEndExecute[{
SetOptions[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], WindowSize -> {1150,750}],
SetOptions[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], WindowMargins ->
{{7,Automatic},{Automatic,6}}]
}], {0.4, 7}];
];
Depending on your hardware you can tweak the {0.4, 7} numbers.
In case you want to get rid of the ScheduledTask object, add:
RunScheduledTask[RemoveScheduledTask[ScheduledTasks[]], {5, 1}]
