Yes Ken I just want the taskbar and favourites at the top with the screen filled out to the edges as I like to keep them in view. I have two laptops that are 17" screens and it doesn't happen with the desktops which seems odd to me but if they open with the double square it is not really an issue it is when I have to hit the max button to make it do that.

Well Callender mate the grey bar at the bottom is yet another odd thing because the Toshiba laptop does not have that grey bar yet the Asus does. It may be that the Toshiba is running 8 in 7 style and the Asus a "straight" 7. In any case it really is not so much of a big deal eh?
