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.

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.

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.

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 use a VPN and Windows remote desktop to log onto my Windows XP work computer from my Win Vista 64 home computer. The only problem is that I sometimes forget to move all my important windows over to the main screen when I leave work. Does anyone know a way I can move the windows over to the main window without being able to see them? So far the only way I know how to do this is by closing them and reopening, which is not an option for tests that has been running for multiple hours.
I have seen a few non-free desktop management tools online but I don't want to pay to solve something so simple.
Right click on window in taskbar, choose Move and use arrow keys to move the window.
Optionally you can press Alt + Space when window is in focus to bring up the same menu with Move.
Window can't be maximized in order to move but you can Restore it using same menu.
On Windows 7, start Task Manager, chooses "Applications" tab, select task, right-click with mouse, and do:
1. minimize.
2. maximize.
In my case, it brought widows that had been opening onto the second desktop, that I have disconected, onto the main desktop.
