Is it possible to add a cronjob without using the crontab command? (Or anything else except editing files directly.) Is there a file I need to edit?
You can directly edit the following files:
/etc/crontab
/etc/cron.d/*
/etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/*
These are system-wide files. In these files you must specify a username before the command to be executed.
In contrast, per-user crontabs are stored here:
/var/spool/cron/<username>

Is there a way that GVim could be set up in Windows XP, so that when it starts it has exactly the same size and position as the instance that was last closed?
It is annoying when you're working with a documentation file in the browser in the background, a command prompt window (constantly open) and a Vim instance that keeps jumping all over the place upon starting/closing. Naturally, it always starts over the paragraph you're currently reading :)
