Browser won't maximise

['Manda]

I recently visited a site which required another window
(for the main part of the site) to popup; the original
window then resized itself (to almost the size of a fully
maximised window, but not quite) and showed a background
image/company logo etc. The only problem is that now, any
new browser window I open up cannot be fully maximised;
the largest it will maximise to is the size mentioned
above. I've tried resetting to the default IE settings and
rebooted, but it's still showing this problem. How do I go
about fixing this?

Thanks,

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)
