How do I use the 'Move' command when right clicking on task bar item?

I have a program which for some reason when in 'restore' mode (as opposed to fullscreen), is entirely outside of the displayed screen area. I need to be able to have this program run in a window but preferrably one I can see & type in!

I believe the 'move' option in the context menu available from taskbar objects is capable of helping with this but so far have been unable to get my head around how this is supposed to work??

Can anyone one help me please (it's actually for the md's desktop!)

Kind regards

Thanks chaps but I think I have the answer - I think I need to re-size the screen temporarily in order to gain access to the title bar. Then move the window to a position where I will be able to resize the screen back to original size and still see the window.

Thanks anyway.

Right click, select Move. Use the arrow keys to move the window. Hit ENTER when satisfied.
 
Thankyou for that - I never knew about the arrow keys and enter! That will be useful in the future.

regards, pete
