Title: Out of the screen and unreachable when restored...
Post by: Marty3d on December 01, 2003, 12:02:53 pm
Hi!
I wonder if there's a registry setting somewhere where you set the size and position of MC when restored? Right now I can only access it when it's maximized, otherwise it's way out of the screen (for an unknown reason) and I can't get it by right-clicking the taskbar icon -> move neither :(

Anyone?

Thanks!

It seems that keyboard controls stil work, so if MC is the active application you can press Alt+Space, and then M to get the Move menu, then use the arrow keys to move the window into view. Arrow keys also work with the taskbar icon menu. It would help if MC obeyed the Windows commands for tiling and cascading windows though. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I got it to move, but there's only a dotted line, which isn't resizeable ...cascading the windows didn't help, it's still invisible. Strange...

Another way...

Bump up your screen res enough to get at MC and move it to upper left corner...then you can set your res back.

10-27

It's already to the max, 1600x1200 and MC is the little dotted thingy... hm..seems that I'll have to reinstall the darn thing. But I would like to solve this by a simpler way, editing an .ini file or something because I have a feeling this depends on me using Remote desktop instead of sharing libraries etc and perhaps happen again...

Anyway, if you have a solution, please post it here!

Thanks!
