Menu
I use a VPN and Windows remote desktop to log onto my Windows XP work computer from my Win Vista 64 home computer. The only problem is that I sometimes forget to move all my important windows over to the main screen when I leave work. Does anyone know a way I can move the windows over to the main window without being able to see them? So far the only way I know how to do this is by closing them and reopening, which is not an option for tests that has been running for multiple hours.
I have seen a few non-free desktop management tools online but I don't want to pay to solve something so simple.

Hold down the Shift key, then right-click on the appropriate application icon in the Windows taskbar. On the resulting pop-up, select the Move option. Begin pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the invisible window from off-screen to on-screen.
You can do this by pressing Alt+Tab until that window is active or clicking the associated taskbar button. After you've got the window active, Shift+right-click the taskbar button (because just right-clicking will open the app's jumplist instead) and choose the “Move” command from the context menu.
In Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista, hold down the “Shift” key while right-clicking the program in the taskbar, then select “Move“. In Windows XP, right-click the item in the task-bar and select “Move“. In some instances, you may have to select “Restore“, then go back and select “Move“.
Right click on window in taskbar, choose Move and use arrow keys to move the window.
Optionally you can press Alt + Space when window is in focus to bring up the same menu with Move.
Window can't be maximized in order to move but you can Restore it using same menu.
