Explorer will not maximise properly

[Kevin Hughes]

Can anyone help? When I open Explorer it won't stretch to fit the full
screen, it only appears half way down the screen, even when I click
maximise. Very annoying for clicking things at the bottom of the screen.
Windows XP home. Thanks.

right click desktop \ properties\settings. check your screen resolution. set it to 800 x 600 and see if that helps.

re-size it with your mouse and close, it should come up
the proper size the next time you open it

Try the following workaround.
.. Open a single Internet Explorer window to the smaller size.
.. Drag the corners of the window until it completely fills the screen. Do not
use the maximize button to enlarge the window.
.. Hold down the Ctrl key, keep it depressed, and using the mouse click File and
then Exit on the menu bar. Do not use the "X" in the upper right corner to close
the window.
.. Internet Explorer should now open in a full window.

.. If it still opens to a smaller size repeat the above instructions,
substituting the "Shift" key for the "Ctrl" key.
