MSDN[^] says:
"By default, the size and location of the main frame is loaded from the registry together with other application settings."
This means that EnableLoadWindowPlacement(TRUE); is redundant as it is the default option.

It also says:
"[The load] occurs during CWinAppEx::LoadState."
The means you need to call LoadState. Because there is no mention of ReloadWindowPlacement it is implied that they are incompatible.

If you then read the page for ReloadWindowPlacement[^] it says:
"Use the function CWinAppEx::StoreWindowPlacement to write the size and location of a window to the registry."

You are using 2 separate methods to save and load, which seem to save/load the data in separate registry locations/keys or formats.

Pick 1.
