I am using Dualview successfully with a laptop, docking station and 2
external monitors, ie, when the laptop is in the docking station, I am not
using the laptop's screen, but 2 external monitors using Dualview.

Normally, when I undock the computer and reboot the computer, the windows
(when I reopen them) appear fine on the laptop's monitor. However, in some
cases, where the window had last been on external monitor 2, the window opens
"off screen". In other words, it is open, but is trying to reside in a space
to the right of the laptop monitor, ie, on external monitor 2, which is no
longer there.

I cannot retrieve these errant windows. Even using tools like Alt-Tab don't
bring them back to the one and only one active monitor. I can't reach them
with the mouse so I can't drag them back into the laptop's window.

How can I hook into these out of view windows and drag them back to
the only active monitor?

Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Right click the program's button in the taskbar and select "Move"
Use the cursor (arrow) keys. Note that after you hit a cursor key once
the mouse may grab it and you can use that to move it the reat of the
way.
 
Thanks, that worked!

Related question: a couple of my programs do not have buttons in the
taskbar when opened, ie, the icon only resides in the system tray. When they
are off the screen, how can I move them front and center, since right
clicking on the system tray icon does not bring up the Move choice.

Thanks.
 
The only thing I can think of is to always keep them on the first monitor.
Don't really know. Maybe someone else has an idea..
