Saving IE Window Position and Size

I just did a Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro upgrade on
a client's machine... The process went well, but now the
IE 6.x (all SPs loaded) browser window
apparently "forgets" my client's preferred IE window
position and size. She has tried resizing and then
pressing Control - Shift and the windows' close button.
This works for the current Windows' session. But as soon
as she restarts the system, the IE window defaults to a
small window in the center of her video screen.

Okay, I know this is simple...but for the life of me I
cannot find anything in the KB. How can she get her
preferences to "stick"?

Mark,

Reset the Window_Placement key using this REG

You're welcome Mark.

BTW, the REG fix just resets the Window_Placement values in the registry.
