Question Windows not opening in full screen mode
All of a sudden (like, these things don't happen s-l-o-w-l-y!!) for no reason I can imagine, windows are not opening in the way I am used to. I can drag the edges to stretch them out but this is kind of a nuisance, and if I click on the little maximize button - top right - I can't move the open window around. I checked the Tools menus but nothing there seems to fit. Any suggestions? What to do? Why this would happen? Thanks.

Heh, if you maximize your window using the upper right boxes, you are not supposed to be able to move it around.

About the windows opening not maximized all the way. This used to happen to me, but somehow fixed it self.

Can you be more specific on what windows dont open all the way? IE windows, or system windows; for example, Control Panel.

I rebooted my laptop tonight and now everything seems to be working normally. Duh. What do I know? I shall keep my fingers crossed. It was (!) Explorer windows that wouldn't open fully when I clicked on links. Actually, I use the Google toolbar...but I seem to understand that it is "Explorer by Google". I use Yahoo! Mail and tonight found that I couldn't open links in my e-mails (unless I held down the Control key or right-clicked to "Open in new tab") and that was why I decided to re-boot. Now everything seems to be back to normal. Just "one of those (Windows) things", perhaps? thanks for replying.
