    All maximized windows show upper portion of desktop above menu bar


    Seen several different posts about this issue but really no definitive answer as to why is occurring. Never happened with XP or Vista only Windows 7. Seems most users with this issue report having a Dell computer but mine is a Toshiba Satellite L505. I just find it very annoying to have approximately half inch of desktop space visible on top of any type maximized window, browser window, explorer window, whatever. Did anyone every arrive at a resolution for this issue or what is causing it to occur?

    Well apparently it was a simple as changing the personalization theme from Windows 7 to Windows Classic. The resulting page or window doesn't look nearly as nice but the gap on top is no longer there. Interesting that all of the other built in personalization themes leave the same gap at the top as well.

Hi there, I have a weird and frustrating problem: In my desktop context menu, the option "Sort by" doesn't show up. I don't know why and did some Google searches but almost everything I found was related to explorer issues, not to desktop issues! I also read through "How to Change the Desktop...
