Windows Opening Off-Screen?

[(PeteCresswell)]

My XP Pro PC has started opening up windows off of the screen.

I have to right-click the task bar icon, select "Move", hit UpArrow, and then
use the mouse to move the window up to where it's visible.

I suspect this is something to do with VPN/Remote Desktop-ing into a PC with two
monitors... but the behavior persists even locally when I'm not connected.

Is there maybe a registry entry somewhere that specifies the default location
for a newly-opened window?

Some times cascading windows will bring an off-screen window back on-screen.

This will arrange all open windows
1. Right-click an empty area on the taskbar.
2. Click Cascade Windows.

* Windows that are reduced to taskbar buttons will not be displayed.
* To restore your windows to their previous state, right-click an empty area
on the taskbar, and then click Undo Cascade

Left click the Taskbar to give it focus.
Hit Shift + F10 to open the menu.
Hit the S key to highlight Cascade Windows.
or
Hit the H key to highlight Tile Windows Horizontally.
or
Hit the E key to highlight Tile Windows Vertically.
Hit Enter to execute the highlighted command.

Left click the Taskbar | Shift + F10 | Hit the S key | Hit Enter

Sometimes you can use the Tab key to get focus, depends on what you have
open.

Also hitting Alt + Spacebar to open the shortcut menu for the active window,
then hitting [ ] to Maximize the window may work.
