My browser got resized and moved

[Guest]

Hi There

I visited a site that resized my browser, which infuriates me. Anyway, after I left their site and returned the browser to full page view, the browser was moved down from the top of the page about an inch. The bottom now doesn't show up. Worse yet I can't drag it back to the top. When I try nothing happens. If I go to the reduced size screen I can resize it and move it around the page, but full size screen won't go anywhere

This thing surprised me so much I'm not thinking too clearly about it yet. Is there some simple thing I am missing to try and move this back to where it should be? I've tried to move the browser with the monitor controls but that skews the desktop.

Could anybody lend a hand on this

Thanks in advance

Joe

Joe,
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
With only that window open, right click the taskbar and choose "tile
vertically" (horizontally should also work.)
Or (a registry edit)

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.
