CHRISdotTODD: Move Off Screen Window in Windows 7

Move Off Screen Window in Windows 7

Back in Windows XP, I found it easy to recover a window that the Title Bar was off the screen. When this occurred in Windows 7, I was surprised to find the same trick didn't work (right-click the icon in the Task bar, select Move, and use the arrow keys to grab and move the window).

In Windows 7, it's not difficult, just different.

1. Select the program in the Task Bar.
2. Hold the Windows key and press an arrow key.
3. Repeat the arrow key movement as necessary.

The Windows key + arrow key offers other interesting options even with fully visible windows. Try Windows key + right or left arrow to get the window to take 1/2 of the screen. Use Windows key + up or down arrow to maximize or minimize, respectively, the window.

I have not had this problem yet. But it is good to know in advance, so I don't go crazy.

This is useful, if like me you tend to move around with your laptop. My laptop runs Vista, but it is a similar adjustment to the Power Options.
