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.

You can also try the VB.NET menu option
