In VBE, the usual look is the Project Explorer on the top left, the
Properties window in the bottom left and the Code window on most of
the screen to the right.

I undocked the Properties window but find that I cannot put it back
together. Now I have all three "loose". I can get the Project Explorer
and the Properties window to dock in the middle of the screen but if I
put them in the top left, the dock full-width across the screen. In
the meantime, the Code window doesn't seem to want to dock with
anything.

I had this on my laptop. I tried the same thing on a second laptop and
find that I can' get them to dock back together again.

Any suggestions/solutions?

It makes coding extremely time-consuming since I have to hunt for the
right window and resize things. Help!

Clarification: I meant to say "I can't get them to dock back together
again."

Follow the instructions posted by Tom Ogilvy:

What version of excel? If Version 2002 or 2003 look for

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\6.0\Commo n\Dock

you aren't deleting a file. You are deleting a value in the registry.
Windows/Excel will recreate it with default values which should restore the
original layout of the VBE.
