Never fails ... post an issue to a users group and then the answer
presents itself immediately thereafter. For me, re-positioning my
second monitor in the display properties allowed me to "see" Quicken
that was off to the left of the main desktop. So instead of my second
monitor being extended to the RIGHT of the main desktop (my usual
configuration) when I extended it to the LEFT I was able to find the
non-maximized Quicken.
It still seems odd that when I was using just one monitor I couldn't
see the program by using TILE or CASCADE.
