VMware Player v3.1.latest, 32bit XP on Pentium 4, 2.8Ghz
I open VM Player and click the maximize button, the Player expands to the proper screen size taking into account, the Windows Task bar Width (or Height) depending on if the Taskbar is on the side or top or bottom of the screen, so good, the entire frame of the Player's window is unobscured as it should be.
But now I play an VM app and click its window's maximize button and it ignores the taskbar width or height, resulting in hiding a portion of the app's window. Now lets say this happens to be an IE browser window that the app commands to open, I have to scroll to see the entire window, which is annoying. However, if I launch an IE browser window outside of VM Player, and click the Maximize button, IE will respect the taskbar width or height, and not oversize the window which is what I should expect.
I see this as a problem with VM Player.
How can this be fixed?
