Resolving Windows Opening off Screen ?
Having Windows
opening off screen can be a real pain.
This and also
having files opening off screen is generally caused by..
a) Having
another external monitor which is disconnected, and the
application or file remembers its screen position for this and
opens off screen.
b) The Window or open file was dragged to the edge of the screen
and now cannot be seen or clicked on and dragged back into view.
c) The video driver sees a secondary monitor even though one is
not connected.
d) Items have inadvertently been moved off screen using the
method illustrated below.
Once you move any windows opening
off screen back into view they should be saved in this position,
the only thing preventing this is if your computer crashes and
the position is not saved.
To move any
windows opening off screen right click on them from the task bar
and select move, now use the arrow keys to move it back into
view.
This method of
resolving windows opening off screen problems will only work
with newer applications; many older types will not allow this.
To move older
types around select the application by using Alt + Tab, then hit
the ALT + Space Bar, now hit the Down Arrow key once, hit Enter
you should have now selected the window that is off screen and
you can move it back with the Arrow keys.
Tips
Once you have begun to move the Window around with the
Arrow keys it will be automatically locked to the mouse cursor,
try moving the mouse around and it should drag the window until
you click the mouses button to release it. (you just need to
ensure you press any arrow arrow key initially)
If you use two
or more screens one of the easiest ways to get everything back
on screen is to temporarily change the extended desktop back to
a single display.
 You
can change this by right clicking on the desktop and selecting
Properties for XP or Customize for Vista/Windows 7, under
settings select screen 2 and untick Extend my Windows desktop
onto this monitor, then you can just change this back after
seeing the items off screen.
