How to Move a Window that is Off the Screen

Sometimes I run into situations where a window is off the screen and I need to move it back into view. This happens often when using Remote Desktop from my home computer with a single monitor to my work computer that has a dual monitor setup. Sometimes the windows that I want are on the second monitor. If you can see your taskbar (the bar at the bottom of the screen with the start menu), and the window you want to show is on the taskbar as an icon, you can right click on the icon and select 'Move' from the menu. This will give you a cursor with arrows pointing in four directions. Then tap an arrow key (such as up or left) on your keyboard. Then as you move your mouse the window will come into view.

In certain situations, however, the window may not be showing up in the taskbar, so it is a little more tricky. The first step is to try to make it the active window. Holding Alt and then pressing Tab will allow you to cycle through the active windows. Keep pressing tab until you get to the window you would like to move. Then let go of Alt. Now you can use the following key combinations to show the window's menu. First tap alt on your keyboard once. Then tap the up arrow key, and then tap the left arrow key. You should now see a menu. Hit the down arrow key until 'Move' is highlighted, and then press 'Enter'. Now move your mouse and you should see your window. So again, once the window is highlighted, Alt,Up,Left is the key sequence to get to the window's menu.

I hope this helps someone!
