I was in 2000 Outlook and clicked on a link in an email.
The IE window did not open but appeared minimized in my
toolbar. When I maximized it, it jumped off the screen
down at the bottom off screen. I have no Idea why this
happened. I am current on all the updates in Explorer and
Office.

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

Remove any 'Auto-hide' option for the 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.
