maximizing and closing

[brad]

2 things: 1 - when I mazimize IE, it only maximizes to
the bottom half of the screen while all other programs
run full screen no problem.

2 - IE mysteriously finds itself open in Task
Manager even after all windows of it are closed. is
microsoft trying to spy on me or something?

Remove any 'Auto-hide' option for the Windows 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.
