Close the program by selecting it on the task bar and then typing Alt-F4.This method actually sucks, because you don’t know where your window is hidden! But when all else fails, sometimes it can save the day. Use the arrow keys to move the hidden window back onto the screen.
If you’re using Windows 7, hold down Shift and then right-click to get the old right-click menu instead of the new jump list menu.
Right-click the program on the taskbar, and pick “Move”. Here’s another less effective trick for all versions of Windows: That was easy! Unfortunately, then you have to rearrange all your windows, which is seriously annoying. Right-click the task bar itself and pick “Cascade windows” or “Show windows stacked”. What’s really cool is that when you “unsnap” the windows either with the mouse or with the keyboard shortcuts, they will automagically revert to their original size (and position on the desktop if you use the keyboard shortcut). Win-LeftArrow and Win-RightArrow are the keyboard shortcuts for a fabulous Windows 7 feature known as Aero Snap.Īero Snap is seriously useful if you’d like to line up 2 windows side by side such that they take up the entire screen. Hold down the Windows key, and press the left or right arrow key.

Since it was such an annoying problem, I managed to figure out a couple of ways to restore the “hidden” window… Firefox – bless its flaming little heart – just loves to do this to me. You’re program is running, but its window has somehow moved outside the desktop area. Later, you try to restore the window by clicking the program on the task bar, and nothing happens. Everyone has run into this problem at least once: you are running a program, and you minimize it to the task bar.
