I use a VPN and Windows remote desktop to log onto my work computer, running Windows XP, from home, running Windows Vista 64. I Check up on long running data processing tasks, integration tests, or do quick code fixes. The only problem is I sometimes forget to move all my important windows over to the main screen and I only have one display at home. Does anyone know a way I can move the widows over to the main window without being able to see them? So far the only way I know how to do this is by closing them and reopening, which is not an option for a test that has been running for 10 hours.

I have see a few desktop management programs online which cost money but I don't to pay to solve something so simple.

+2  A: 

Right click on window in taskbar, choose Move and use arrow keys to move the window.

Optionally you can press Alt + Space when window is in focus to bring up the same menu with Move.

Window can't be maximized in order to move but you can Restore it using same menu.

I had to tell someone how to do this just recently, and ended up with the same solution.
