Maximized Window problem

G

Guest

I just started having this problem tonight - If I maximize an internet explorer (6.0) window, it maximizes itself, but about an inch below the top of the screen. It fills the width of the screen, but it extends itself past the bottom of the screen and I can see some of my desktop on the top part of the screen. Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or how to fix it? Thanks very much in advance.

Try:
With only the affected window open (and the taskbar NOT set to autohide)
grab the top of the taskbar and pull it up to twice its normal height. Then
close the window, resize the taskbar, reopen the window.

Or (a registry edit)
Q194759 - New Internet Explorer Window Opens Partially Off the Screen:

Another possible fix from http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/ietips.htm
When all else fails, paste the below line into Start> Run

javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)

Note: then make sure the above window is the last one closed.

Or one of these programs may help:
AutoSizer 1.4- http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/
IE New Window Maximizer http://www.jiisoft.com/iemaximizer/index.htm

Hope this helps,
Don
