Screwy window placement on desktop

Posted: 05-29-2006, 05:38 AM
Open Security Center and any two other windows. Right click on taskbar and
select Show Windows Side by Side...

Now, depending on the order of the windows, Windows Security Center will
either overlap another window or, if it's the right most window, it will
extend beyond the edge of the desktop.

I'm running an ATI 9800 Pro...

Thanks,

Lang

Cannot confirmed, they I have three windows open, Personalization, Security
Center and Control Panel. Control Panel was the foreground window, and it
did not go off the green, just mushed up with the other windows. Doesn't
look efficient though since I am on a 15 inch screen, 1024 by 768.

But I do know that if you boost it up to 1152x768 and have two windows open,
then Side by Side them - they don't align properly P
