Guest sengsational Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 This happened to me on several machines. This time I did something about it. I searched the registry and found that you just need to delete the "InitialPosition" key. Buggy crap. This has been in there since at least Windows 98. Symptom: Windows Photo Editor only shows in full screen. If you try to make it windowed, it will "disappear", but still have a task bar icon, which you can maximize back to full screen. Solution: regedit HKEY_USERS > (latest) > Software > Microsoft > Photo Editor > 3.0 > Microsoft Photo Editor Delete InitialPosition key. --Dale--

We dumped it long ago and went with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for picture viewing (which is about 95% of our users). If user needs to edit pictures, we install Photofiltre. Adam
