Windows help? Outlook is hiding, and I don't know why. The window (when not maximized) seems to be hiding up in the corner of my desktop where I can't see it. I'm trying various right-click functions like "Move" and "Size," but they just stick my cursor up into that corner and I'm not sure what to do after that -- click and drag doesn't seem to be doing anything. Help? [More:]Obviously, I can work with it maximized so it's not a crippling problem, but it's been going on for two days now and it's getting annoying.

After you press 'Move', you can use the cursor keys to move the window about. Likewise with 'Size'.

Ah ha! Cursor keys!

That's not at all intuitive, given that one has just used the mouse to click "Move."

But thank you very much. That worked.

Choose Move, press the down arrow once, and then use the mouse to move your screen to where you want it to go.

That should do it, but. There's a registry hack you have to use sometimes, because certain applications get "sticky" so they always open in the wrong place. Google Earth does this to me all the time.

My techie skills are getting so fucking rusty. *sigh*
