browser opens an inch low

[scott]

My browser opens an inch low on the screen, cutting off
the bottom lines and the status bar. At the top I can
see the desktop -- but I can't move it up with click and
drag, and I tried restarting the computer and nothing
changes. Very wierd. Anybody know what's going on?

Hi,
Try:
With only the affected window open (and the taskbar NOT set to autohide)
grab the top of the taskbar and pull it up to twice its normal height. Then
close the window, resize the taskbar, reopen the window.
Or
With only that window open, right click the taskbar and choose "tile
vertically" (horizontally should also work.)
Or (a registry edit)

Thanks Don,
Somehow the thing healed itself -- I've saved your instructions in case it happens again, so I'll know what to do. Thanks for your help.
