Trevor, I think the default WindowBoundingRect will sort this out for 
you, but not when the IDE is present (the IDE gets to it before your 
code can). See useful stuff from Ken Ray and others (including what 
to query in the Registry) under the subject 'Leaving room for the 
title bar' on the list in the last few days. I think you'll find the 
TaskBar is also taken into account.
