Lost VPC console window

Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc

Message:

I was running my laptop host OS with its desktop extended onto a secondary
display (connected to a video projector) and I moved the VPC console onto
the secondary display. I shutdown VPC, finished my presentation, went back
to my office and rebooted my laptop as I normally use it (no secondary
display). Apparently the VPC console stashes its screen coordinates
somewhere in the registry because now it displays offscreen somewhere. I've
looked around the host OS registry (HKLU) trying to find where it remembers
the window location but I haven't found it yet. I want my VPC console back
on my primary display. How can I recover?

Have you tried a right mouse click on the task bar and picking "Cascade" or
"Tile" windows?

Yep, tried that and nothing happened. I attached a secondary monitor, told
windows to extend the desktop onto it, moved the VPC console back onto the
primary display, disconnected the secondary monitor, and all is well.
I'm glad I'm not on travel at the moment and I had another monitor to hook
up.
First time I ever encountered this. Every other time I've shut down any
application and powered off my laptop and disconnected the secondary
display, apps restart on the primary display.
This is a good test that I've got to add to the tests that my QC group runs
on apps that my dev group builds.

Bummer.

That was the only other thing I could suggest. :( At least it worked.

The other option is to right-click the task bar icon, click Move, and
then use the cursor keys to get it back onto the correct display.

It all began with Adam. He was the first man to tell a joke--or a lie.
How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said
it before. Adam was not alone in the Garden of Eden, however, and does
not deserve all the credit; much is due to Eve, the first woman, and
Satan, the first consultant." - Mark Twain
