Menu
I was previously using a dual-monitor setup with a 24" monitor and my laptop's built-in monitor.
I've since connected a 2nd 24" monitor and am no longer using the laptop screen at all. (It is disabled).
In my regular view (coding, etc) the properties window, solution explorer, toolbox, etc were all visible and I just needed to move/resize them to fit the larger screen size.
Unfortunately this is no the case with the debugging view. I need to debug something and it appears my locals and other windows are off the edge of the screen. I've tried Ctrl+D,L but it doesn't seem to want to bring it up.
I can't find anywhere in the menu a command to reset windows.
Any idea what I can do?

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.
This usually happens after you change screen resolution, or if you closed the application with the window in that position. In some cases, the window will open up completely off the screen; the only evidence that the application has launched will be its entry on the Taskbar.
First, click and hold the title bar with the mouse, and then drag the window to where you want to dock it. Visual Studio displays some docking icons. Four icons are at the edge of the IDE, one each at the left, top, right, and bottom. These icons are used for docking the window at the given edge of the IDE.
Hold down the WINDOWS + SHIFT keys and then press the LEFT or RIGHT ARROW key on the keyboard. This moves windows between screens and will pop the missing dialog into view. Use the keyboard to move the window into view.
You can move any window in Windows using keyboard shortcuts. First, give the focus to the window, even if you can't see it, by toggling the tool window. Then press alt+space, 'm', press an arrow key, and then move the cursor in the visible screen region. If all goes well, the window should have followed. You can practice the trick with a notepad window. Note that the mnemonic depends on your Windows language, it's 'l' in French.
