Hmm, if you can somehow get into the folder options, try playing with the settings in there...

Try the 'views' button.

Yep, it's an HTML extension of the explorer shell, which allows all the funky media preview functions. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I recently had a problem where the Internet Explorer window would appear several pixels from the top of the screen. I tried everything ranging from going to the Taskbar Properties to the Display option in the Control Panel and still couldn't find the root of the problem.
I maanaged to solve it but clikcing of things anyhow. Don't ask me what. I'm not too sure either. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

NeoHunter, the Windows registry has a whole bunch of hidden but useful settings, one of which is the window maximize coordinates. They are XY coordinates from the top left of the screen, and they define what the dimensions of a maximized window is on the computer. It generally comes into play when the taskbar is set to "Always on top" and not auto-hidden, to prevent applications fro covering the taskbar when they are maximized.

Have you tried copying the *.htt file from a known good machine? Or deleting/renaming the one that's there? I think Windows will reconstruct it if it's missing.

Edit: I've looked around the computer and can't seem to find anything that looks like my problem (checked out the *.htt files - all of them looked normal).... any more ideas?

It looks like a problem with your display adaptor, I seem to remember similar stories under win 98 2nd edition before all the fixes.
if it is a driver gone stupid, reinstalling windows will not fix the problem.
run the diagnostic proggy first. then reinstall the drivers for your video card. If that helped let us know...
