IE window position

[JackP]

When I maximize an IE window, the window goes fully
maximized, but the actual position of the IE window
is "pushed" from the top of the screen about 1/2 inch. I
can see the top desktop icons while an IE window is
maximized. The bottom of the IE window is down off the
monitor. Resetting resolutions didn't help. It only
happens with IE windows. All other programs display
properly.
Any ideas?

Symptom: IE opens a maximized window shifted down and to the right.

Remove any 'Auto-hide' option for the 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.
