Move a window when its title bar is off the screen
Posted by davidnewcomb on 19 Nov 2008 in Techie
Under Windows some applications remember where a window was positioned when it was last used. Sometimes that position can no longer be on the visible screen. There are various reasons how this might happen.
- Screen resolution is smaller than before.
- Computer used to have 2 monitors, and now only has one.
- Computer has 2 monitors which are now in a different order.
- Program bug.
- Open the title bar menu, by holding down alt + space.
- Select Move, by pressing the ‘M’.
- Use the arrow keys to move the window into a better position.
- When you are happy with the new location, press Return to finish.
- You can now use the mouse as usual.
- Open the title bar menu, by holding down alt + space.
- Select Move, by pressing the ‘M’.
- Press the down arrow key and then move the mouse. The title bar will snap to under the mouse, where ever it is on the screen.
- Move the window to where ever you like and right click to drop it.
