Ok, this is pretty stupid stuff, but I had a program window move off
screen (I don't know how I did it but I did) and now I can't "Pick" the
top of the window to move it back into the viewing area. I'm sure this
is a pretty common problem but I haven't been able to come up with
anything in a search of this newsgroup or the MS knowledge base.
(Probably not using the right search parameters)

So please be kind to someone who should know better.

Thanks,
TonyM

Thanks for the reply Steve. That didn't work. When I tried to move the
window with the cursor keys the Arrow came back to the cursor and the
moved but the window did not.

Anyway I got it fixed. The program I was using is Winamp. The Media
Library window got separated from the main player and got lost in the
upper nether regions on the screen. Once I locked the Media Library
window to the player window I was able move it back to a position where
I could move it independently.

Thanks again!

Use the taskbar or Alt-Tab to make the program active. Press ALT-
SPACEBAR. Press M (or Alt-M) for Move, then use the arrow keys. Hit
ENTER to drop it in place.

Also, if part of the window is on-screen, you should be able to pull it.
This usually auses the top to move on-screen, even if it resizes the
window. If the top is off the top of the screen, just slighly resize the
bottom a bit, and the top will pull down enough so you can pick it.
