Restore / Move Hidden Windows

When you have multiple monitors and then move from site to site with different monitor configurations not all software correctly handles its locations settings. When a windows knows it's last location does not exist it should then display itself in the default position on theprimary monitor. When these setting are not updated you can not see the windows to move it to a live monitor, and thats the problem. There are solutions to this.

Simple Method

• hold shift and right click on windows tab
• then use the arrow keys to move window

Not all software supports this so if this does not work use command now.

My example cmdow batch file

This will restore the UltraFileSearch window when it is off screen to the top left of your primary monitor.

cmdow "ultrafilesearch lite" /mov 0 0

or

cmdow "UltraFileSearch Lite" /MOV 0 0

or

cmdow 0x00A157E /MOV 0 0

window 	Window to list.

If not specified all windows are listed. Specify a window by its unique handle in hexadecimal format (0x1A0142)
or its caption (case insensitive). Wildcards may be used. Windows without captions may be specified by their ClassName.
The At symbol '@', may be used to refer to this window ie 'CMDOW @'.
Use double quotes for captions containing whitespace or control characters.

Notes

• maximising will allow you to see the window, this also can in some cases add the move option on the right click menu
