Is there a way to keep the IDE (Delphi 7) windows in specific positions

right side but other windows go away once I close and reopen the IDE.

Begin by finding the "project desktop" entry in the "auto save" section of the IDE option dialog.

Next, arrange the windows the way you want them. Click the "save layout" button on the layout toolbar. When you debug a program, Delphi switches to the "debug" layout; you can save a layout for that, too.

Also, how can I see detailed real-time read out of a compilation?

Turn on the "compiler progress" option. It will display a dialog box while your program compiles. The dialog reports the current file, the line count, and the error, hint, and warning counts.
