Windows will create a new user profile directory structure and your window postion issue will most likley be resolved. If not, you can copy the saved profile back and start over.
If you manually reset it, when not in the full window mode, then I believe that should apply across the board for every window opened in that application from then on, until you resize it again. If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem.

Probably a simple answer to this but mind's gone blank Many windows application and tools when used on her XP profile disappear off the screen when launched. G, launch printer status from command bar and it zooms off to the left of the screen and disappears, icon is on the widow bar and has to be maximised to view.
Make any change and it disappears again. Some tool windows open with only the title bar visible and we need to select the edge and drag to resize starts next time with only title bar. Unknown - gremlins???!!! Are you sure its not botting into Safe mode?
Safe mode tends to use a lower resolution as it doens't load video card drivers instead it loads generic ones that do not cause issues. If its booting into safe mode instead of normal mode there may be a driver issue causing it. Also can you maybe reinstall the video driver see if it works again? Are you sure it's not just setting on the monitor itself that needs to be adjusted? I think he would notice having to click on the "you are now in safe mode - press OK button" message, but maybe not.
Oops, I missed that it is a laptop. Thsnks guys - having read all that safe mode no, adj buttons no is the consensus to reinstall the video driver? Never hurts to update the drivers. If you can't adjust the display settings, and it is not in Safe Mode, then update the drivers. I know that worked for me on a couple of old Dell Lappy-toppies that i had laying around. That would be a good step reinstall driver if you can't adjust the resolution and have it function normally.
Should have mentioned that as step 2 in my post, but I didn't so I'm a putz. I'm assuming it's most likely Intel graphics. However, I want to point out that if it is nVidia graphics, based on some VERY major issues with one of the recent graphics drivers, I'd tread with caution, and make sure you don't upgrade to a problematic driver when updating.
So, You CAN go wrong in upgrading drivers. Typically, that goes fine, but there are exceptions. If it were me and I remembered , I'd double-check for any issues related to the specific driver before updating. I've not known of any major issues with Intel drivers, but I have known of some for nVidia - just in recent history.
Easiest way in Windows: 1. The Minimize button shrinks the window and places it on the taskbar while leaving the program running. The Maximize button, which looks like a small window, is used to enlarge a window to cover the entire desktop. After a window is maximized, the Maximize button changes to the Restore button. It looks like two windows near one another. If you click the Restore button, the maximized window shrinks to its previous size the size it was before you maximized it.
Sizing windows is slightly different from minimizing, restoring, and maximizing. Note: You cannot size a window if it has been maximized. Make sure the mouse pointer changes into a two-headed arrow before you try to size the window. Sometimes moving and sizing multiple windows can create confusion. To keep better track of multiple windows, try cascading or tiling the windows.
Windows XP allows you to have more than one program open at the same time. It also allows you to easily move between open windows. The window you select becomes the active window. When a window is active on the desktop, its title bar and button on the taskbar is blue.
When a window is inactive, the title bar is light blue. Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows XP keeps the taskbar from getting too cluttered. It groups the buttons when too many accumulate on the taskbar. For example, when you open Outlook Express you'll see one button on the taskbar. However, if you have three or more email message windows open, one button represents the Outlook Express's open windows.
When you have more than one window open, you can also switch between them using the keyboard.
