theweaselkingSometimes you'll get a window that's locked offscreen - it's shrunk itself into it's own title bar and relocated a million pixels THATAWAY off your screen. You can get it fullscreen with right-click-> Maximise, but you can't get it back *as a window*.
The trick: select the window in the taskbar, and use alt-space to open the traditional "move/restore/maximise/minimise" menu. Select move, then use the KEYBOARD arrow keys for a second. Just a second, it doesn't matter how long or in what direction - all you're doing is making windows know that you've "grabbed" the window.
Then move your mouse. The window, regardless of where it was before, is now located on your mouse pointer. Click to drop it where your pointer is (which is, obviously, on your screen) and resize back to normal to your heart's content.
There's also registry hacks to forget the saved previous position of the window, but fuck those.
