Move Off screen Windows Easily
I use a dual monitor setup with my laptop, but the annoyance is when I switch to using only the laptop screen and certain windows are stuck out of the screen. I read various posts about this and most deal with right clicking the taskbar and trying out “move” or “cascade”.
I noticed the “Move” method is not available on windows 7 when you are using the classic theme, and various other methods failed so I’m posting my “IF all else fails” alternative.
Run WinLister as Administrator and select the window you wish to move back on Screen.
Not running as administrator will not give the application the ability to move the windows for you.
Right click and select “Center Selected Windows” and your done!

Bring Misplaced Off-Screen Windows Back to Your Desktop (if all else fails)

Download the WinLister application from here
Run WinLister as Administrator and select the window you wish to move back on Screen.
