IE6 maximizes to less than full screen

[Yo Dude]

IE6 just started maximizing to about 1" below the top of
the screen. The background is visible behind it. When I
reduce IE6 to a standard window, it can be moved into that
space and resized to fill the screen, but if I maximize it
again, it goes back to about 1" below the top of the
screen. When it does this, it also cuts off the bottom of
IE6 and you can't move the window to access it...

Anybody seen this before?

.Dude,

Have you tried using your cursor to drag the window to
the position you want?

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)

Yes it will not drag up maximized. It will when set as a
normal window, but not when maximized (it thinks it fills
the screen).
