My Notepad window comes on with the left edge off the screen. How do I move
the window using only the keyboard? I know how to move a window when I can
place the mouse on the upper left corner but I do not have access.
 
Alt Space M
That will take you to the Move option on the control box and you can
use the arrows to move the screen.

Tried alt space M as suggested. Got choppy noise from speaker but no Move
control box. Other suggestions apreciated.
 
Hi,
Right-clicking Notepad's button on the taskbar should also give you the move
option. Does it?

The keystroke shortcut was Alt [then] Spacebar [then] m. That didn't work?

Hope this helps,

I don't see how you got a noise (I can't) but you should get the
control box showing after <Alt> then <Space>
You don't get a Move control box. You get a control box with a Move
option, then you use the arrows.

You can also use the taskbar button as Don suggests.

same time.
