Is the screen on the host computer much bigger than the one from 
which you are accessing the file? If so, on the original screen move, 
the window so it is close to the center of the screen,(or the left 
side, or whatever seems to work).  I have a 24 inch screen at home 
and when I access it from a 20" screen at work, some windows are 
nearly out of view.

Or if you are on a strictly Mac network, perhaps using the Finder's 
View menu to check "Clean Up" would move the icons and windows into 
view?
