How to move a window that has disappeared off-screen in Windows

I recently had a problem where I had two monitors then I starting working with one monitor. One problem I came across was one of the applications I used was last used in the second monitor area, so when I started the application (a Microsoft application) it appeared off screen in the coordinates it was last used, therefore I could not see it. Here are the steps to fix this annoying problem:


  1. Click on the application in the taskbar or 'Alt'+'tab' to the application to give it the focus.
  2. Then press 'Alt'+'Spacebar', this should display the popup window menu.
  3. Press 'M' to enable the window to move.
  4. Press the left arrow key to move the window left onto the first monitor.

Screen Capture MAC

I use both Windows and Apple computers and I needed to find the best way to capture an area of the screen on my iMac. I thought I needed something like Cropper which I use in Windows, but have discovered iOS has it built in. Here are the following capture options I have discovered:


  1. To capture an area of the desktop, press cmd+shift+4, this will give you a cross hair where you can select and area of the screen, this will save the image as a png file on the desktop.
  2. To capture a application screen, press cmd+shift+4, to display the cross hair again, now hit the space bar and the icon will change to a camera and will select areas of the desktop.
  3. To capture the whole desktop, press cmd+shift+3.
I thought this was great that Apple has included these features in iOS, I bet I will find some more useful features the more I use iOS.
