    Hold Shift while you right-click the icon. Then, depending on your keyboard either the +/- or arrows will eventually move the window, it just may have to move it half a mile, so ride the line between patience and time wasting...

    Thank you!!

    While I cannot test this in remote desktop, it doesn't work on my real desktop.

    I think a version of this was posted earlier in the thread.

    It should work, but I have not tested it in Remote Desktop. If you do, please report the result here.

    Agree with those who say this is nuts. Here's my favorite workaround:

    • Open any app that opens where you can see it.
    • Hover over the maximize/restore icon near the right end of the title bar.
    • Choose any screen layout option. Your active app will appear in one part of the screen.
    • Windows then lets you choose what app you want in the other part of the screen.
    • Choose the app that has been hidden. It will appear in part of the active screen.

    Does this work with remote desktop?
