How to move a window, when its title bar goes off screen
On occasions it may have happened that the title bar of your open explorer window may have moved off screen, as a result of which you are unable to move the window with the help of your mouse pointer.
Here is a simple tip which will help you move the window in such situations.
Hold down Alt + Space-bar
Next press the M key
Let go all the keys.
Now use the arrow keys to relocate the window.
Right click the mouse when you have moved the Window and are done!
So simple !

or: press Shift + RMB in the Program in the Taskbar and than Move
Doesn’t work for me unless I can get to the title bar of the window anyway. Tried on an explorer window, internet explorer and Outlook. Can’t just grab it anywhere and have it move.
Oh wait…I’m stupid. Missed the bit about using the arrow keys. Nevermind.
I do have to LEFT-click to finish the move though. Right-click won’t do anything.
It does work
tried it myself before posting.
Or during the “use the arrow keys” stage, press any arrow key once then start moving the mouse and the window will jump to the mouse’s current position where ever it is.
What do you do if the entire window is off the screen, and you can’t tell which way to nudge it with the arrows? I’ve seen some users who manage to consistently do this, although I don’t know how the window gets completely off screen.
^ I cant imagine that happening Jim. Tell me how … would love to try and see the options then
AWESOME Tip!
I’m one of those who sometimes ends up with a window completely offscreen. It happens because I use a 2nd monitor with my laptop. When I disconnect the 2nd monitor and start up the laptop, some programs start up in the void where the 2nd monitor used to be.
The Shift+RMB method didn’t work for one of my programs – move wasn’t an option in the menu. But the ALT+Space+M worked perfectly.
Thank you!
really kul, thx
