How can I move Morrowind in windowed mode on Windows 7?

I have a widescreen display so Morrowind looks skewed in fullscreen mode.

However, If I start it in windowed mode, it is drawn slightly off screen, with the top being above the boundary of my screen.

Since the game also steals the keyboard and mouse from the OS, I can't seem to move it nywhere. I already searched for some methods of moving an off-screen window, this for example, but none work for this reason.

There's this program called ShiftWindow that I use to move windowed games on my screens when the normal ways do not work. I've written a more detailed answer about it already, but the basic idea is that you select the program, set the coordinates (or select target display) and hit "Trigger it". It has worked fine for me in Windows 8 and I see no reason why it wouldn't work in 7.
