Crud.

Don't ask me how but my screen is humongous and there is no tool bar (on the top or bottom). I tried going left/right and up/down. No go.

I did the esc. I did the ctrl,alt, delete. Nothing. I shut the whole mess down and when I powered back up and came back here...the screen is still blown up.

Dang.

METHOD 1: Using Keyboard Shortcut

You just need to press "ALT+SPACEBAR" keys together and it'll open the System Menu which shows minimize, maximize, restore, close, size and move options.

Once you get the menu, you can use arrow keys to go to the desired option and press Enter key.

For example, to move the window select "Move" option (or press m key to select the option) and then you can use arrow keys to move the program window to left, right, top or bottom.

Similarly, to resize a large and wide window, select "Size" option (or press s key to select the option) and then use arrow keys to resize it.

Does this help? or can you still use your mouse? (I just copied and pasted this from another place).

At least in my browser, and some other apps, Ctrl+ increases the size; Ctrl- decreases; and Ctrl and 0 (zero) put the screen at original size.

Within Windows itself, the Windows key and + increases the size of what you're looking at. Windows key and - decreases the size.

Hope that helps!!

(ETA: Windows key and left cursor squish the current screen to the left. Windows kay and right cursor squish it to the right. Win and down arrow reduce the size; Win and up arrow restore it to full screen.)
