ie6 new widow problem
- Thread starter ceezo
- Start date
Try this/these fixes:
"Remove any 'Auto-hide' option for the taskbar and then maximise the problem window. While the window is maximised, increase the height of the taskbar from one row to two. Allow the maximised window to reset itself to fit into the new area allowed by the taller taskbar. Now return the taskbar to its normal single row. 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 which are most likely corrupted:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\window_placement
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\internetexplorer\Desktop\Explorer\desktop\oldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects
Then reboot."
