Where are my finder windows after a reboot I have a late 2011 MBP, running Mac OS X 10.7.5, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, with 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

When I reboot and I try to open a Finder window with command + n or from the menu 

File > New Finder Window 

I see the window open and then disappear somewhere off to the left or right off the screen.

If I open multiple windows the same thing happens.

When I invoke App Expose I can see all the Finder windows I opened but as soon as I close App Expose they disappear again. 

I cannot drag or select the windows in any way.

When a second monitor is connected I tried dragging them onto the second monitor but that does not help either.

The only thing I found works is:


Press: command + alt+esc ;
Select Finder;
Click Relaunch.


Normal behaviour resumes. 

Is there any way to troubleshoot this behaviour and stop it?



Update:

This has just happened again, and this time I took a video.  

When the finder windows appear in this video, that is when I am changing desktops with command+ right.  As you can see I cannot get the finder windows to show up at all.
When I have a badly placed window I usually zoom it.
Finder Menu->Window->Zoom.
Works for other programs as well. Not sure if that works for your case, but worth a try.
