Extend my desktop -- gimme back my app window!

[Guest lbb]

Last week, I so cleverly set up extended desktop with a new shiny external

monitor that they gave me at work (primary is my laptop screen). All was

cool until now, I'm working at home with just my laptop, and I have an

application that "remembers" it's supposed to be on the second window. Going

into Control Panel -> Display settings and unchcking the "extend my windows

desktop onto this monitor" checkbox on the second monitor (which was the

external monitor) does nothing. How can I get my app window back onto the

laptop screen?

 

TIA,

[Guest 3c273]

Right click on the task bar icon and select "Move" and use your arrow keys

to move it back to your laptop screen.

Louis, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for saving me from my own

stupidity!
