Maximizing the browser

[Jake]

when i maximize my browser, the top of the window is
about 2cm below where it normally should be and the
status bar is cut off by the bottom of the monitor. how
can i solve this problem?

I've seen this with programs periodically. If you paly
areound with restore down and restore up a bit you should
be able to rectify the problem.

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 2 or 3 times 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)
