Alt+Space worked for me too. I can't believe MS made this so hard to use. I have wasted hours and frustration trying to use application after undocking from dual monitor situation. Bad OS.

Not sure which Windows version are running, try this:

right-click on the taskbar and select Cascade Windows.

Using CuteFTP, and no, this method doesn't work: there is no "Move" option available in this app.

thank you very much, Watching The Net, i am a pc tech and i didn't think of your solution, you helped alot, because right clicking the window on the task bar didn't have the option to move, using alt space popped the menu on my monitor and let me move it.

When I hit Alt+Space the menu appears, but when I hit 'M' it does nothing (this is because the 'M'ove option is not there! in the menu).

Any other idea? Is there any way to go through the registry to access the object HWND handle or something and manually change the x,y coordinates of the application window?

Or any other ideas?

Please advise.

Regards,
Marshall.

@Marshall

Try this: press Alt+Space, then press M, and one of the arrow keys. At this point you should be able use your mouse to move the window (or possibly use the arrow keys).

I am using Windows XP and have a similar problem. However, when I hit ALT-SPACE when the application is highlighted the 'move' option is greyed out.

When I try ALT-Tabbing to it it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Can you please explain exactly how to do this if the 'move' menu item is greyed out?

Please advise.

Regards,
Marshall.
