OfficeXP PhotoED.exe problem

[Ted]

Office XP
Windows XP SP2

I don't know what I did, but the Microsoft Photo Editor
(PhotoED.exe) always opens Maximized now. If I hit
the "Restore Down" button to so that I can re-size it, it
minimizes to the task bar. The only way to get back
again is to right click it on the taskbar and maximize
it. I've tried doing a uninstall/reinstall, but it did
not help.

I've also tried bumping up my resolution just to make
sure it wasn't sitting somewhere off-screen when I hit
the restore-down button.

Why is it doing this?

Thank you Chris!!!

The "LastPosition" registry entry that the article
referred to was not there, but "InitialPosition" was
there, so I deleted it. Logged off, Logged On and it
fixed it.

Ted,
Glad that it worked for you. May want to keep the article in a favorites
folder, you may need it again...
