Registry Edits

I wasn't exactly hijacked, but the pop-up -unders etc.
finally slammed a new format into my MSIE5.5 display.

I could (for about the third time) fix the problem by
importing a known good copy of the registry - however, I
didn't think to make one after my last batch of program
installs... so I'd like to know where to edit the registry
by hand -

Problem: Maximized window does not display correctly.
The "grey border" around a windows "pane" is normally used
to re-size a window that is neither Max- nor Min- imized
SHOULD go away when a window pane is maximized. I am NOT
describing a "full size" window... that's F11. I am
talking about the window you get when you either (a) use
the "box" button (the middle button of the 3 on the top
right of each window "pane")... or when you (b) double
click on the (default) blue title bar at the top of the
pane.

the internet sites "slam" did not affect ALL windows,
(explorer, find, etc.) - only the MSIE window.

There must be a line somewhere in the registry (win95c)
that sets the appearance and size characteristics of the
default "maximized" appearance... where is it? what should
it be showing??

Thanks for whatever help you can offer...

Just an additional comment. If you are getting a lot of pop-ups you
should download a program like ad-aware and spy-bot. They tend to help
alot on unwanted popups. Plus you might want to look into getting a
popup stopper program.

Url for ad-aware is
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
and you can find spy bot by going to 'www.downloads.com'
(http://download.com.com/) and searching for search and destroy. the
spy bot will be the first entry.
