layout changes from parent to child window

W

Wowbagger

When I first open MSIE the layout of the tool and status bars is as it
should be. When I hit CTRL+N to open a second browsing window the layout is
all messed up. Why don't child windows open with the same layout as the
parent?

MSIE 6 on an XP Pro machine.

both, trying."

That seems to be for HP systems only? I've got a Dell.

The AutoTKit issue applies only to HP computers.

Lock the Toolbars. If that does not help, Reset the toolbar position using the REG file in the site

I have the toolbars locked and they will randomly position themselves, most
notably the 'Links' section of toolbar will shift over to the far right
side - off the screen so I have to click the little down arrows to see them
(and then only as a drop-down).

I applied the REG patch and also manually deleted that key and the same
thing happens: the first instance of MSIE has the correct layout (but
sometimes with the status bar missing) but every window that opens with
CTRL+N is incorrect.
