This may seem like a silly question, but how do I recenter the active program, or get it back on my screen when I can't click it?
Sometimes when I run skype and switch between resolutions for full-screen programs, the skype window disappears off screen, and I have no way of dragging it back.
Does anyone know how to fix this without restarting the program?
Alt+Tab until the desired window is active.
Try the following shortcuts:
Win+Left: Fills left half of display with active window.
Win+Right: Fills right half of display with active window.
Win+Up: Maximize
Win+Down: Minimize or reset to window size prior to maximize.
NOTE, the above is for Windows 7. I haven't tested it on other OS's.
Not sure if it will work on earlier versions.

I'm using a mac book pro.
When I'm pressing the upper left corner green button - it makes the window
into full screen and hides the dock bar.
I want my window to be almost full screen - I want the dock bar to remain.
One option is to manually starch it, but this is something that needs to be done every time.
Is there a way of customizing the upper left green button for that?
The functionality you're looking for is known as "zooming" the window. It used to be that the green button did that, but these days it enters full-screen mode instead. If you hold down the Option key when you click the green button, it reverts to the old zoom operation. You can also use the Zoom item of the Window menu. You can also configure things so that double-clicking on the title bar zooms the window, on the Dock pane of System Preferences.

The VMMap help mentions "Show Changes" option in the "View Changes" help section, which sounds like a super useful option.
However, it is nowhere to be found.
I am using the latest VMMap v3.11.
Where is this option? How do I activate it?
The help file is not accurate. First you need to enable tracing of a process, File + Select Process and use the "Launch and trace a new process" tab. Enter at least the Application textbox. When the process starts, the Timeline button on the status bar will be enabled. Click it to get a rough graph of VM usage over time, updated by default once a second.
Click and drag the mouse to make a selection on the graph. The main window shows the changes.

I am using a monitor and a laptop. Currently the desktop appears on the laptop screen and the monitor is the extended desktop. I want it to be the other way around but I can figure out how to do this. Is is possible to configure it so the desktop appears on the monitor and the laptop screen is the extended screen? I am using windows 7 by the way.
There is an option on the settings to set a monitor as your primary. Check that for the monitor. Your taskbar will move to this.
Right click desktop and select "Screen Resolution".
Click Identify to show numbers on screens.
Click the correct screen on the window corresponding to the monitor.
Check "Make this my default display" if not checked.
Right click your desktop and select "Screen Resolution". Select your external monitor (will usually be #2), and click the check box that says "Make this my main display", and press Apply. That should make your external monitor your primary, and move the taskbar over.

On my mbp, I open xterm under X11 and I want to paste from the clipboard. However, command+v doesnt work and there isnt even an option from the edit menu. Is this not possible? If it is, how do I enable it?
Alt + left mouse click should do the job if the button mouse emulation has been enabled.
And for some more details check this out http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-18272.html.
Have you tried the Pasteboard settings in X11? Also, a lot of keyboard shortcuts for X11 actually use ctrl instead of Command (like in GIMP and Inkscape).
Previous Stack answer
Secondly, is there a reason that you're using Xterm instead of Terminal?

Ok i specify:
My problem is that I want to assign a keyboardshortcut for Dreamweaver CS4 and I have it like this: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\Dreamweaver.exe" Thats ok so far.
But when I press the key it doesn't place itself infront of everything else like Outlook and Visual Studio does, instead it blinks in the taskbar, and I have to click there anyway to get back to Dreamweaver.
Is there any switch or something I can assign for Dreamweaver to get back AND have it "popup?"
OR some coding with the window title property that fixes this?
The Win32 API has a function for enumerating all top level windows on the desktop - EnumWindows ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633497(VS.85).aspx ). Using the enumerated window handle with the Win32 API GetWindowText call ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633520(VS.85).aspx ) would get you that information.
I am unfamiliar with the C# based methods, but I expect there is a similar way there too.
But you did not specify enough information really, what language/tool are you trying to do this within?
Windows tries very hard to prevent applications from shoving themselves in the foreground. For some reason Windows thinks that CS4 is trying to move itself to the foreground and instead of stealing the focus from the current app in the foreground, it's flashing the icon for the app to let you know that it needs attention.
