when i click on maximize, its not using the whole desktop
screen, there is some space still at the top and is very
annoying. it is working fine for other applications. any
help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, henry
 
Henry,
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.

Or one of these programs may help:
AutoSizer 1.4- http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/
IE New Window Maximizer http://www.jiisoft.com/iemaximizer/index.htm

Hope this helps,
Don

I've tried all the variations on the usual fix, nothing worked.
But I've just downloaded iemaximiser and it does.
Thanks henry.
