new windows in wrong place

When I'm in Internet Explorer and click on a link that
opens a new/smaller window, it's putting it halfway off
the screen. This just started happening last week. What's
going on? How do I fix it?
 
This happened to me at one of the Leasing Offices I
support. Any shorcut i sent to desktop would open half
size and to the left. You can grab each side with
adjusting arrow and set it to size you want then click
FILE / EXIT and it SHOULD be ok next time you open it but
i had to Edit Registry -

Hope this helps.
 
Lisa,
Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the second browser window manually by dragging the sides to the
desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you *must* do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
Visit another web site, open a link in a new "window", it should now be the
desired size.
Note: some pop-up browser windows will alter this process if that is the
last one closed.
If that occurs again, you now can resolve this problem.

[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window_Placement"=

Right-click on "Window_Placement" and select: Delete
Note: Remember to Export the key before editing.

When all else fails, paste the below line into Start | Run
javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)

Then make *sure* the above window is the last one closed.

Click to expand...

Drag it back where you want it and make sure it is the last IE window
closed.
