Frannie,
He can round up errant windows back to the desktop by right clicking on
the taskbar and choosing "Cascade" or one of the "Tile.." choices.

Also, have him :
-- check Display> Settings to be sure he doesn't have an extended
desktop enabled accidentally.

-- if necessary, adjust the monitor's display boundaries with the
controls builtin to the monitor
