IE Won't Maximize

[Guest]

After removing spyware from my PC using a variety of tools, IE 6 will not maximize. It fills most of the screen, but you cannot see the bottom of the vertical scroll bar nor can you drag IE up by the title bar. This only happens under my (admin) account, not under my wife's (admin) account nor my kid's (user) acccounts.

I have XP Pro with all updates current.

Autohide? You mean for the taskbar?
If you right click on an empty area of
the taskbar, and click properties, the
auto-hide option is right there.

Except for the "you cannot drag" aspect I was confused
by your problem description and especially misled by your
Subject as well. I suspect what you mean is that when
the window is maximized it doesn't fill the screen?

Have you been experimenting with the XP Magnifier Accessibility tool?
It moves the top of a maximized window down about an inch.
Normally when you turn it off when you are looking at a maximized window
the window size is restored but perhaps if the machine is shut down
with a maximized window in that state it persists?

In any case I would try turning the Magnifier on (e.g. Run... magnify
or use the Utility Manager to start it--press Win-U) while the problem
window has focus. Then turn it off. See if the proper window size
is not restored by doing that.


Good luck
