WindowsXP Desktop

[Bernadette]

I accidentally moved my open application window off the
desktop. So now, even though the application shows up on
the status bar at the bottom, I still cannot access it.
How do I bring this window back into view on the desktop?

Thanks,
Bernadette

Right click on the item in the taskbar and select Maximize. That should
open the window and give it focus. Once you have it open and it has focus
you can hit Alt-Shift-Spacebar all at the same time. A context menu should
appear in the screen. Click on move and then hit one of the arrow keys.
The missing window should now be pined to the mouse cursor. Drag it to where
you can see it.

Hope this helps, Ed

Hello Ed,

| Alt-Shift-Spacebar ...

.... seems to give the same result as "Alt-Spacebar".
