Spybot S&D Version 1.4, XP Pro SP2
This is only a cosmetic problem but it is annoying to me and I've seen it happen on other machines as well.
My S&D window runs either maximized or minimized but no in between. It's taking up the whole screen. When I click on the maximize/restore button up in the corner, the mouseover reads "maximize" or "restore". However, restore only changes that button. I can't grab any of the sides and resize the screen in either mode.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks.

The only thing that I can suggest is to reset the Spybot window attributes back to their default values and the reset the window to the size that you want.

The Spybot window attributes are stored in the systems registry. Since I can not attach a .reg file in this forum, I have attached .zip file that contains a .reg file to reset the Spybot window attributes to their default values. The content of the .reg file is as follows:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PepiMK Software\SpybotSnD\Window]
"Left"=dword:000000c0
"Top"=dword:000000a4
"Width"=dword:00000280
"Height"=dword:000001b8
"WindowState"=dword:00000000
Instructions:
Exit Spybot-S&D.
Download the attached Spybot_Window default.zip file.
Unzip (extract) the Spybot_Window default.zip. This will produce a Spybot_Window default.reg file
Double click on Spybot_Window default.reg file.
Answer "Yes" then "OK" to the messages received.
Start Spybot-S&D.
I hope this helps.
