Force the Focused Window to Fit screen: If you have to compromise and some windows appear off the screen, simply maximize the window, which will by default force the window to fit the screen. The 'maximize window icon' is on the top of each window - in the middle of the icon options "minimize" and "Close" {the "X"] (in the upper-right hand of the window). If the maximize icon is off the screen, you can maximize the window using the keyboard. To maximize the focused window with the keyboard: press "Alt" + "Spacebar" (hold them down together) and while holding them down then press "X".
Move Focus Window Inside the visible Screen: If the window is displaying outside the visible view of the screen and the window is not one which can be maximized, thus you cannot click on the maximum button or the "Ok", "Cancel", "Apply" or whatever buttons are off the screen, then you can use the keyboard to move the focused window into view:
Alt-Tab or Click On the Window
Press "Alt & Space"
Press "M"
Use your arrow keys to move the Window (you will see an outline of where the window will appear once the position is set).
Press Enter to set position.
- Alt-Tab or Click On the Window
- Press "Alt & Space"
- Press "M"
- Use your arrow keys to move the Window (you will see an outline of where the window will appear once the position is set).
- Press Enter to set position.
Google Chrome horizontal scroll bar Fix: Another thing I like about the Google Chrome browser is that you can set the zoom on each page differently and it will remember that setting for that particular website (until you empty/delete temporary internet files). Simply by clicking on settings and selecting the "-" or "+" (just a few clicks and it's set, if the horizontal scroll is appearing on a particular page).
Desktop Icons Size: Also, you can change the size of the desktop icons, mine are set to "Medium Icons" but you can even set them to large, which is helpful. Simply right-click the desktop and hover over "View" then select size.
"Ease of Access" Tools: Furthermore, there are settings for a magnifier, which zooms in on any area of the computer screen, which is helpful in certain cases. It's under "Ease of Access". Right-click the Desktop > Personalization > Ease of Access (in the lower-left hand corner).
There is also an "On-Screen Keyboard" within the "Ease of Access", thus you only need your mouse for small tasks. Once you open the "On-Screen Keyboard" or "Magnifier", then simply right-click the open window in your taskbar (if you have the operating system Windows 7 or 8) and you can pin them to the start/taskbar. Thus, you can open them with one click when they are needed.
