Visual Studio 2008 Floating Windows Are Offscreen

My block of floating windows in Visual Studio 2008 (output, error list, find results, etc) are gone -- offscreen I assume.

I haven't been able to find a keyboard shortcut for the options (floating window equivalent of Alt-Space for real windows). How can I get my floating windows back?

I'm not sure if there is an equivalent for Alt+Space for Visual Studio tool windows. There are a couple of other ways which should fix this though.

First option is to reset your window layout. This should bring them back on screen

  • Window -> Reset Window Layout

Other option is to reset all of your settings. This will bring you back to a default profile which should reset the tool windows

  • Tools -> Import / Export settings
  • Reset Settings

Select to Window > Reset Window Layout, and agree to the Are you sure you want to...? prompt.

The price you pay is giving up your old window layout (including docked windows).
The benefit you get is... your floating windows back. And those are useful.
