Notepad starts off-screen

So you’ve changed you primary, secondary screens and now notepad opens off screen and you can’t get to it. Alt-tabbing does nothing to fix it, how do you resolve this?

The default position for Windows Notepad is stored in this Registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad

Close all open Notepad windows and change the following values as shown:
iWindowPosX : 0
iWindowPosY : 0
iWindowPosDX : 200
iWindowPosDY: 200

This would set default position to top-left. You can resize and position Notepad window later as you wish.
