Every once in a while, on my Windows XP computer, a window opens up completely off the screen. I can maximize the window, but when the window is maximized, it can’t be moved. These steps work for me to restore access to this “hidden” window.
- Right click on the icon in the Taskbar
- Select move
- Use arrow keys to move the window into view

Came across your site looking for something else when I saw this. Just wanted to add to your tip.
What you can do is after selecting Move, press any arrow key once, then start moving the mouse around. The window will come right into focus where the mouse is moving, just as if you were normally moving the window around by dragging the title bar.
Hope that helps out!
Thanks travis.. it helped me..Thanks!
