New IE Window Location

[Gary]

Below is a thread from
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
PA Bear MVP recomended I post this prob here. I really
don't think it is a hijack prob. I have current F-Protect
virus, the MVP hosts file and Ad-Aware.
What do you know.

When viewing remember it is upside down.

=========================================================
If selecting a lower screen resolution (Control Panel
Display Settings)
doesn't help, then I don't know what's wrong, Gary,
unless you're seeing the
results of some sort of hijacking:

In trying to fix this that is what I do. I can open a new
window, close the parent window, resize and reposition
the child window, close it. When IE is restarted, it
opens in the last child location. Any link opened in a
new window is in the same vertical position and the
horizontal position is a scroll bar width to the right.
Every time.

Reposition (move/drag) such a window where you want it
and how you want it to appear. | Close all other windows
but this repositioned window. | Now close the
repositioned window.

Tried it all - no go. I even moved the taskbar to the
right and left side, open new windows, reposition
windows, move taskbar back to top, open IE, open new
window, still tiles to the right. Deleted ie
window_position from registry with all IE already off,
reboot, new window still tiles over.

Problem: New windows open in same vertical position but
the horzontial position is a scroll bar width to the
right of the origional window. Naturally I want them
stacked, in the same location. All subsequent new windows
open in the same location. XP with SP2,laptop.
I have tried everthing I can find on this problem.
close all except new window, put window where I want it,
close with shift, control, both shift and control.
deleting the Window_Position in the registry.
creating a IE shortcut on the desktop that opens IE using
the -k switch.
There has to be another registry entry for the new window
location. Help!

I know that this might not help but in 95 there was a little joke program
that was going around and it's name was Bad Day. It turned the screen upside
down. Most people were able to get out of it by waiting the 15 seconds that
it took to reverse itself . Some were not that lucky and their screen stayed
Upside down. For them the only recourse to correct the issue was to shut
down and open up in safe mode and run that (58kb) little bugger again. I
might have it saved on a floppy somewhere in my library and I will take a
look. If I do find it I would email it to you. Nothing to loose try it.
Might turn it around.

Only one problem. You are posting with CDO and I do not have your ady. You
can send it to me via email and I will see what I can do if I find it.I will
not post that file in any group for obvious the reason
