Ever “lost” an application or window someplace off-screen?

See it in the task bar?  Right click it and select “Move”.  Tap any arrow key.  This “locks” your mouse cursor to the windows’ top draggy bar thing.  Move your mouse cursor back onto the screen somewhere, the window will be attached.  Left click once to ‘detach’ the window from your cursor.  That’s it!

Alternatively, if you don’t have a mouse plugged in, instead of tapping an arrow key and moving the mouse, press and hold an arrow key to (slowly) move the window in that direction.  This requires an idea as to which side/sides of the screen the window has dissapeared off of.  For example, if it’s way off to the left somewhere, tap and hold the right arrow to ‘drag’ the window back.
