Can not maximize IE windows

[Guest]

Hello,

Win XP Pro - SP2

I can not maximize my IE windows. They fall short about 1/4" from the top
of my screen when maximized. Any other kind of application window works
correctly.

Any ideas?

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.
