How to bring misplaced off-screen windows back to your desktop

April 14th, 2008

I sometimes use a second monitor on my laptop. However, upon using only one monitor again, some programs don’t go back to the desktop, they appear off-screen. Seen that your mouse pointer doesn’t go off-screen, it’s difficult to move those windows back to your main screen. A simple way to do this is the following:
Use alt+tab to select the window you want to move, press alt+space, then m, then an arrow key and then move your mouse, which has the window attached to it, to your main screen.
