So second try in the right thread I hope.

Thank you Darkweasel, You are right, I'm using windows 7. I forgot about the alt space, and that works perfectly. I can move the file to the center of Windows, but even when I save the file. When I reopen the file, it will again be at the same place off windows. I can live with that but it would be nice if the window would open where it is supposed to open. Do you have any other idea how to fix it? Thank you very much for your answer. Jake

Hi

When opening a file the inkscape window opens partly off screen so the controls to close, maximize and minimize are off screen and I cannot move the window at all.

The menu with file, edit,. is also off screen.

How can this be fixed?

That depends on your operating system and window manager. Judging from your mail user agent, you appear to be using Windows. There, I would advise using the window menu, which you can access either by pressing alt-space while the Inkscape window is focused, or by right-clicking its taskbar button. There you will have choices to minimize, move, close and maximize the window. (These instructions are taken from my memory, I don't use Windows.)

Hope this helps.
