Outlook Disappears

[Cam Penner]

From time to time, I "remote desktop share" into my main
computer from my laptop to read my e-mail. The problem
seems to be that the screens are different resolutions.
When I get back to my desk, Outlook looks like it has been
moved off of the screen, and is not available. I can see
it in the taskbar, but nowhere else. If I select Maximize
from right clicking the taskbar, it comes up nicely to full
screen. If I click "Restore", it disappears to who knows
where, and is visible only in the taskbar.

This may be a Remote Desktop Sharing thing more than an
Outlook thing - but Outlook is the ONLY application that
this has ever happened to. The others all behave nicely.

Suggestions?

Hold CTRL and then click Outlook and several other applications in your
TaskBar. Then rightclick on one of the selected applications and choose
Cascade. Outlook should now be visible in Normal view as well.

Right-click the icon in the taskbar and choose Move. Use the keypad arrow
keys to reposition it onto the screen.

I think it is a resolution issue. Make sure you have resolutions on the two
machines that will encompass the same real estate.

Ideally - yes. But they are not only different
resolutions, but different aspect ratios as well. The
cascade trick earlier works well enough though.
