I have been using IE6 for a considerable time (under Windows XP). Recently, all of a sudden, when it runs maximized, it seems not to fill the entire screen correctly. There is a small sliver of my desktop showing on the top of the page, and the botton of the browser window is cut off (by roughly the same amount). This is not happening to any other program I run (whetner or not they are Microsoft products). Any ideas on why this may be happening?
 
Hi,
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)

Hope this helps,
