SheepDog rounds up stray application windows on multi-monitor setups
If only there was some kind of digital shepherd to corral those errant windows. Hey, if not a shepherd, why not SheepDog?
It's a tiny, portable application whose sole purpose is to bring apps that have wandered back to the primary display. Fire it up, and the tray icon listens for a hotket combination to be pressed. In the options screen you can customize your key combo and also change the system tray icon.
Hit the hotkey (or right click the system tray icon and select reposition) and any offending application windows are instantly moved.
At only 20Kb, this baby is going straight on my USB flash drive with all the other handy utilities I need once in a blue moon.

Or you can right click on the window in the taskbar, select move and then hold down the left arrow key (if the external monitor was attached to the right) to move the window back to the correct screen.

Even better .. I just hit an arrow key once (after selecting move) and then you can position the window anywhere you want using the mouse - left click to release. Using just the arrow keys is waaaay too slow.

In Windows 7 select wayward application in the taskbar, hold Windows key and press right arrow.

WinWarden from Donation Coder can do the same thing... and a heck of a lot more, but I only use it to find 'lost' windows.
