RE: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max)
I often see this after I've been using a laptop with a secondary screen. After undocking the laptop and booting it up again, any applications that were last running in the second screen when I shut down (and are set to open in the last position they were in) are then opened up off screen and you cannot move them with the mouse. The only way to get them onto the laptop screen is to use the keyboard methods mentioned.

RE: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max)
Yes - but when you maximise the window is fits to the only currently available screen (i.e. my visible laptop screen). If you Minimise it, it drops to the task bar as usual. But if you Restore it, it goes back to its original position (i.e. off screen) and looks like it has been Minimised because the only thing you can see is the task bar item. This may not be exactly what is happening (although a restore to a previous desktop might solve this as well) but is looks like the same symptoms. Cheers, Andy.

Try Ultramon.

Re: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max)
In many applications, resize or maximize the window to the state you want it to open to, and then hold down the CTRL key and click the x in the upper right hand corner. this has worked for me many times in the past.

Re: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max)
Ken, The portion of the webpage that helped me see the mid-size window had to do with how to Move the window using keyboard. The midsize (restore in many cases) window was *totally hidden* in the top left corner and became visible when I could move it. Then I resized that tiny window. So Sizing and Moving were sort of intertwined. Jay P.S.: No, I never do a reinstall so such minor issues. - Original Message - From: Ken Schaefer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 7:31 PM Subject: RE: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max) Which part of that document solved your problem?

Re: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max)
I have found, with several older apps, especially the photo editor from MS Office97, that once in a while they move offscreen. They show in the task bar, but they are either offscreen, or maximized - no inbetween. So, I hit the restore button (the one between the the minimize and X buttons at the upper left of the app) while it's minimized, and yes, it's the one that puts it into resizable mode. This causes the app to disappear. However, the app still has focus. At that point, if you press ALT+Spacebar, then the 'm' key, then any of the cursor/arrow keys, and then the enter key, the app will magically reappear on the screen, and behave normally for a while after that. It's strange behavior, but the above procedure has always fixed it for me.

Re: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max)
Found solution myself, thru Google on searching for sizing the window (other similar phrases had not helped.) In case any of you are interested, this website has the solution -- without any registry key entry: http://www.computer-2tr.com/tips/06/20061101.html Jay - Original Message - From: Ajay Kulsh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 7:14 PM Subject: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max) Hi folks, I have had this problem now and then with different softwares -- and I think most of you might have experienced it as well -- where Window either covers the whole screen (Max mode) or just stays on Taskbar (Min mode). This is quite annoying and usually I restore the whole desktop to an earlier date. This time even that trick is not working. The program is PowerDeskPro 6 on Vista Ultimate. Does anyone know any registry entry that might fix this? Or any other solution? (Hard to search on Google due to difficulty in phrasing the problem in unique words...) Jay Kulsh So.

RE: Bit OT - a Major Annoyance -- Cannot size the window (Goes from Min to Max)
Which part of that document solved your problem? It seems to be describing how to resize a window using a mouse, or alternatively, the keyboard. There isn't any problem there that I can see...
