When the IE browser opens up maximized the window is larger than my
window screen. The window has to be minimized in orger to be able to
exit using the X in the upper right hand corner.

If the brower is opened minimized, it opens off center to the right
just far enough that you can't see the X in the upper right corner.

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Symptom: IE opens a maximized window shifted down and to the right.

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.

In addition to Frank's fix check your assumption.
There are other ways to close windows than using your mouse
to click its top right X-box. E.g.:

1. Doubleclick on the top left corner of a window
2. Use Alt-Space,C
3. Use right-click on a window's Task bar icon
4. Etc.

Thanks in advance.
