What do you do when you accidentally drag a window off the screen, so far that the draggable part is no longer in your screen's viewable area? My Trillian instant messenger window is stuck in the upper right corner of my screen. When I restart the program, it still defaults to that corner.

Well, this might not be the easiest way to do it. But, I think if you have a Nvidia GPU, a setting under its driver control panel is to force Windows to not let windows go beyond the screen boundaries...

Resize the window from the left so that you can then move the window, then resize it. This happens to me when I unplug my laptop from my docking station and my 1440x900 monitor..

Does Trillian have a taskbar entry? If it does, right click on it's taskbar entry and select Move. Use your arrow keys to move it to the correct location :)

Connect a second monitor and extend the desktop to it. Then just drag it back into its place =P

I couldn't do any of the suggestions, but I managed to drag the window back in with a modified approach. I temporarily set my resolution lower. This made the window shift back into the viewable area.

Thats weird I can't even if I try drag something far enough off the window that i can't just drag back.
(although back when i used Trillian i did it a few times).

Task Manager -> Right Click On The Process -> Maximize :D
Most of you guys are trying to think outside of the box which in this case is NOT needed.
