Moving a microsoft window.

[Desmond]

If I have a child window inside a parent and the top of the window is
hidden behind the top of the parent. How can I move it as I cant get
the mouse onto the top blue title bar?

Yes and then what. Still can't get to that all important title bar
with the old mouse pointer.

Like within the AOL interface? There should be an option on the toolbar
atop the window, to rearrange the windows within its interface. Also
try a right-click of the window, or click the window to highlight, press
Alt/Spacebar.. that works within Windows; it's up to the mystery program
to follow the standard though.

Click somewhere inside the decapitated window to ensure that it's active,
then type ALT + hyphen; you should get a popup menu for the child window,
with an entry "Move" (with the M underlined).

Either click on that line or just type "M" and you should get a 4-way arrow
cursor; then you can move the window around with the cursor keys.

Press and release <ALT>+<SPACE> and then press <M>. You can now
use the cursor arrow keys to move the display settings dialog window
back to the desired location. When the box is located where you want
it, press <Enter>.

You gave nothing to help others help you, so I'll assume you're using a
desktop manager, the same one I have. Just set it so it doesn't overlap
the windows.

HTH,

Alt Hyphen is new to me, and doesn't work on my XP SP3, but ... right
click the title bar and choose Move (which does not indicate there is a
shortcut key sequence as XP does when there is one) and you get the
4-pointed arrow letting you move that window out of the way, exposing
the one below it.

I don't see ALT hyphen in the Help Key shortcuts either: Perhaps it's a
3rd party thing you have installed? If it's native to XP I'd find it
useful, actually.

I use Alt+Spacebar to get the title bar context menu. Actually, I usually
press and release the alt key before pressing the spacebar key.
