Did Windows loose a Window?

Got a good question today and thought I would share the result incase someone else has a problem.  My college was bringing up Netmeeting’s Find Someone window and while it would appear in the Task Bar it was not visible on the screen. After a search for “Windows XP” and “Window Placement” (also tried “Window Location”) no results came up. So we started guessing at a solution. We noticed that when we right clicked on the button in the task bar we got a option for Maximize and then we could see the window but when we pressed restore it went away again. So now we are thinking that it is defiantly off the screen somewhere, but how do we get it back. Well, through some more trial and error we clicked the move dialogue and then mashed on the arrow keys for a while and flying in from the left hand side of the monitor came the window. After we closed the application and reopened it, it remembered the new window placement (in the visible area of the monitor). YEA Problem solved. Happy Computing.
