Launchy Won't ....Launch?

My favorite keystroke launcher, launchy appeared to stop working today.  I used my favorite keyboard combo (ALT+SPACE), and the familiar launchy suggestion box would not show.

The funny thing was that Launchy was running.  I saw launchy.exe in the process explorer in task manager.  My theory was that launchy was displaying, but off the bounds of my screen.  A trip into C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Launchy revealed the problem.  (You may need to allow windows explorer to show all hidden files and folders).  I opened launchy.ini and explored it's contents.

Those coordinates clearly put the launchy window outside the bounds of my screen.  I changed the coords to something a little more reasonable [pos=@Point(20 20)].  I killed the process and re-launched the app.  Everything is now back to working order.
