Hi, got a weird one, probably Windows specific rather than Adobe, though I've been trying to find a solution for 40mins to no avail.
I was in Dreamweaver and clicked on Files, Define Servers and the relevant window popped up. I was trying to solve a laggy issue I'm having with Dreamweaver by turning off various things in Advanced and seeing if they helped. Anyway, I flipped back to chrome to check on some suggestions for which settings to try and when I went back to Dreamweaver, the Define Servers window was hidden and Dreamweaver itself is locked - because the other window is open and needs to be closed. But I can't get to the other window...
It's not in Alt-tab, it's not in right click the icon on the taskbar, I can't restore down or minimise Dreamweaver, I can't even right click the icon and close the application. Before I resort to Task Manager and a forced close, are there any suggestions for keyboard options? I've tried Win-Shift-M, Win-Up, Win-Down. Thanks
Edit: I don't have multiple screens so it's not an off screen issue.

I hate to say it, but Task Manager > End Process might be your only option. If you can't Alt-Tab to it (it's not a program, it's a part of Dw) and minimizing doesn't work (same), I think killing it is the only option.
V/r,

That's what I did in the end! Thanks

Did you press the Escape (ESC) key?
It works for me.

I did and it didn't work for me Nancy. Thanks for the suggestion!

It's a known issue ...Only workaround is to make sure you don't switch the focus away from Dreamweaver while you have the site definition window open.

Well, this was the second time I'd done this and had to force close using Task Manager.... maybe I will have learned my lesson now... but I doubt it. Thanks
