Windows: Off-Screen Windows in Windows

Besides attempting to be the phrase with the most occurrences of the word "Windows", the title says it all: how do you get those irritating off-screen windows back onto your desktop in Windows? Windows can go off your screen for various reasons. Maybe you were playing around with your laptop and hooked up an external monitor and dragged notepad to the other monitor only to realize that after you unhooked everything notepad would not show up anymore. Or maybe because you're a developer and someone in your team has created a brilliant test tool that instead of minimize as expected it just decides to adventure itself into the void (as it just happened a few minutes ago). Either way, there's a very simple, albeit incredibly counter-intuitive and not very well-documented, "trick" to bring all your beautiful windows back.

Here it goes:

1) Open the program, such as notepad, using a shortcut or by going to the All Programs panel via the Start button.

2) Right-click the minimized window name in your taskbar and choose move.

3) Press any of the arrow keys on your keyboard.

4) Voila! There's your window. You can move it around with your mouse as it is still locked for moving.
