IE6 New window staying minimized

Just today any new window I open in IE starts minimized. I can't even click on it in the taskbar to open it.

I have to right click on it and click on Maximized.

Any ideas?

To the Actually that wasn't my problem. I could get a new link or open a new window but it would be minimized and the only way to view it was right click in the Taskbar on one of them and click on Maximized.

Thanks for the posts.

Open a window and set it the way you want it. Then either hold down shift or ALT and close it. (I forgot which one it is since I've never had to do it in a long time.)

That's not a bug - it's a feature!

It's back. Can't figure anything I did to change things but.......IE is opening minimized in the Task Tray again.

You have to right click and Maximize to open it.

Same with links. Click on one and it opens minimized in Task tray.

Don't have an IE icon on or in start and have cheched all EI files on my HD and all are set Normal.

I have tried IEMaximizer and it worked but......my first choice is not a patch but to determine what happened to cause the problem originally so I can correct it.

I think something has changed one or more of the files mentioned in the following fix. I have already Restored my computer to a couple of days ago when all was well but well try this if or when it happens again.
===============================================================

Just go to start then run.Type in cmd and get to the prompt and then type: regsvr32 urlmon.dll
include the space in the middle and that should be it. These are the instructions in that Microsoft Support page.

To resolve this problem in Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
Quit all programs that are running.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK.
When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK.
If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each of the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with each of the file names below):
Shdocvw.dll
Msjava.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Mshtml.dll
Browseui.dll
Shell32.dll (Windows XP and Windows 2000 only)
If the problem is still not resolved, verify that the following registry values are present and correct:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Name: (Default)
Value: IDispatch
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
