J-Mac:
A handy combination that I had to search like hell to find.  If a program's window disappears from the screen but it is still open - meaning the window has moved to a location off the screen:

Alt-Tab to the missing window, then Alt-Space, M, then any arrow key. Now move your mouse and the missing window will suddenly pop back onto the screen.

Sounds weird but for a while last year Evernote's window would disappear from the screen right after installing any new update. Developers insisted they had no idea why, so I guess maybe it was something weird on my system. It stopped after a few months though I never did find out why it was happening. Moving the window back onscreen became much easier however after finding the above sequence!

Thanks!

Jim

J-max thanks. I was just getting ready to try to find that again...

I wonder if I can make an Autohotkey macro to do it. Then I wouldn't have to remember it with my brain.

Stoic Joker:
Tab at a command prompt to scroll through the items in the current directory.
