Can't resize Internet Explorer

[DustyB]

G'day all,

I can't seem to resize the internet explorer. It'll got full screen, and
it'll go to a minimized form that's about 2/3's of the full screen.

But you can't "grab" the margins and slide them around with the mouse as
usual. Other windows move and size just fine.

I've looked all over the usually handy Kelly'sKorner site, but didn't find
anything related...

Anybody have a clue for me?

Go to Start > Programs and right-click on Internet Explorer
and choose "Maximized" from the "Run" drop-down list,
then click Apply.

Hi Carey! Tnx for the speedy reply!

Go to Start > Programs and right-click on Internet Explorer
and choose "Maximized" from the "Run" drop-down list,
then click Apply.

Did that first, and did it again with your instructions firmly in mind.
Didn't work!

IE comes up maxed and can be minimized. But it goes down to about a 2/3 of
the screen size, and then can't be "grabbed" by the mouse and tweaked in the
usual manner. I can grab the toolbar and move it around, but it won't
"catch" any margin bar and permit it to be moved...

Hi,
Go to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEMax
Download and run the REG file to reset IE window size in the registry.
