SUCCESS ! It was there all the time! The Control Bar had moved OFF screen to the FAR RIGHT! Various engineers work on their projects at this desk. Apparently someone had accidentally moved it, or forgot they had moved it and never placed it back. WHY ? Who knows! I have since posted a notice and instructed everyone on the use of KEY stroke " C " !!!!
HOW I FOUND IT ! ::::::::::: In a frustrated state, I was waving the mouse arrow back and forth ( Left to Right) on screen quickly....and just threw up my hands and shoved the mouse across the pad, letting go of it at the same time.
THE ON SCREEN ARROW DISAPPEARED OFF SCREEN ON THE RIGHT.
Now really pissed off thinking I had just busted the wireless mouse, I grabbed it, put the batteries back in, and attempted to use it. The Arrow came back on screen from the FAR RIGHT SIDE.
THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED that I could move the arrow quite far off screen and then back again.
I WENT FISHING, what the hell else did I have to lose. I moved off screen in small increments. Starting at the top and estimating how far off screen to right I was, I would click and attempt to drag what might be hiding over there.
Within a few minutes of GHOST DRAGGING and to my COMPLETE SURPRISE, there came my CONTROL BAR on the end of my Cyber Fishing pole!
Holy Crap, how much more embarrassing could this be!! Sorry guys for troubling you. Thank you for keeping me sane for a few weeks!! You saved the Towers life! .....and I get to keep my Christmas money for actual gifts this year!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR...........:) .....and again Thanks!!!!
