Get Back Vanished Window
Friday, October 2, 2009, 4:15 AM
This very rarely in happens in Windows XP, however if it does it may leave you very confused - as it did me until I found a solution, which I will now rephrase quickly here.

Your window has gone off-screen and you can't drag it back into the visible part of the screen. You've tried right-clicking the application in the taskbar, and then clicking and dragging, but it hasn't worked. You've tried changing your screen resolution and a whole number of other things - but to no avail, your window is lost for ever... no longer!

1) click (not right-click) the application where it sits down in the task-bar.
2) press alt + spacebar
3) press m
4) a. Use arrow-keys to direct the window back onto the screen...
     b. if that didn't work, try the click & drag method.

I hope this works for you :)
