Is there a simple was to control the position of the cmd shell window.

I am using this to position userforms and popups(msgbox) and this works well.
Code:
  ' Simple "with" to put Userform in centre of monitor when I'm using 2 monitors
    With MYUSERFORM
      .StartUpPosition = 0
      .Left = Application.Left + (0.5 * Application.Width) - (0.5 * .Width)
      .Top = Application.Top + (0.5 * Application.Height) - (0.5 * .Height)
      .Show
    End With

I am using a shell cmd window for my users to choose supplementary documents sand save to a given location and would like to control the position the shell window.
This also works fine, but i have no control on shell window position?
There is more code between the lines below but these are just choosing the files and settting the path and I dont believe have a relevance to the window position?
Code:
    ShellID = "cmd.exe"
    retVal = Shell(ShellID, vbNormalFocus)
    waitTime (1)

Guidance most welcomed
