Hi,

I have searched the ms knowledge base and manipulated the settings on my
monitor, but I'm still clueless as to why my ie version 6.0.2800.1106IS
doesn't cover the top 1" of my desktop when the brower window open and
maximized.. when I try to click and drag the window up by the blue bar at
the top, nothing happens. my other programs display properly and cover my
desktop entirely.

can someone help me? I can't see the bottom of my web pages.

thanks so much,

Liliane

From: http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/offpos.htm

Remove any 'Auto-hide' option for the Windows taskbar and while the window
is maximized, resize the taskbar then return it to the desired size. This is
to try to make Windows re-calculate the window size and boundaries.

If no joy, run regedit and remove these registry key values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\window_placement

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Desktop\OldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects

Then reboot.
