quite a silly one, but very annoying:

had twin monitors, now got one only.

when I open the extension manager, it opens off the viewable screen
(presumably in it's old location where it opened on my old right-hand monitor)

Restore, Move etc, all don't result in any joy...

Is there any way to reset to default its opening location?

Thanks

This has happened to me a couple of times.

****** Please be careful as the following instructions may result in a screwed computer if mistakes are made *****

If you're on Windows, open RegEdit (Start -> run > type: regedit hit enter). Then navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Exchange\Window

Look at the Coords key, you'll see a comma separated list of numbers, the first two numbers are the x,y coordinates of the upper left corner of the window, you may see something like -32000,-32000 for the first two numbers, set those to say 100,100. The second set of numbers is the width and height of the EM window, I'd set them to something like 600,600 (assuming your monitor is at least 700x700 resolution).

So, you'd end up with:
100,100,600,600
