Maximized leaves holes at the edges?

[Bobby]

Running Outlook 2007 SP2
Dual Monitors.
Outlook is always maximized on one monitor.
What I want to do is, when I want to bring up Outlook, just click at the top
of that monitor - it's the only thing maximized over there (or else it's the
top maximized thing), so that should bring it to the front.

But when I click on it, I often get a tiny little strip of something else,
and end up focusing on some other window.

Anyway to set outlook so that when it's maximized, it goes all the way to
the top of the screen?

That's not the behavior of a maximized window but of a normal window whose
borders have been dragged to nearly the entire screen. At the right end of
the title bar where the window control icons reside, what does the middle one
look like? If it has a single window border in it, it's not a maximized
window but has been manually enlarged by dragging the borders. If the middle
icon shows two small windows borders, then it has been maximized.
