Where the heck did my FIND and REPLACE window go? I NEED THEM BACK!

[Alan Mailer]

Well this is a new one on me...

Suddenly I can't get my "Find" and/or "Replace" window to appear on
screen while I'm working on my VB.net code. These windows don't
appear if I hit Ctrl-F, Ctrl-H... or if I try to summon them from the
VB.net Edit menu.

I have no idea what the problem is. One (possibly bad) guess: could
these windows somehow have gotten positioned outside of my screen
coordinates, causing them to appear somewhere I can't see them? Gosh,
if that's the case, how the heck to I correct that?

As I say, that was just a guess. If anything else strikes any of you
experts, PLEASE share it with me. I need these capabilities back!!!

If this is relevant, I'm using VB Studio 2005.

Thanks in advance.

If they are off-screen, then you can do this:

- Press Ctrl+F
- Press Alt+Space. This will bring up the system menu for the window.
- Arrow down to "Move" and press Enter.
- If the menu appeared on the left-hand side of the screen, press and hold
the right arrow key until you see the Find window. If the menu was on the
right-hand side of the screen, press and hold the left arrow key. Once you
see the Find window, press Enter to stop moving the window.
