TightVNC allows us to make a remote session full-screen, so that the remote screen takes up our entire monitor.
Under Windows XP, to "restore" (un-maximize) a full-screen session back into a windowed session, we would hit Alt-ESC (or the Windows key) to display our own taskbar, and then right-click on the TightVNC Viewer's taskbar icon where the pop-up menu would have a "restore" option. This entire pop-up menu appears to be gone under Windows 7. The only choice now is to close the session, but it remembers to show all future sessions in full-screen (!).
One nuisance caused by this problem is that I cannot drag the remote session onto my second monitor. Another is that I can't get to the Viewer toolbar and start a file transfer.
Is there a way to exit full-screen under Windows 7 with TightVNC Viewer?
Or, how can I reset this stored value so that I can see future remote sessions in a window?
