Have a user who has somehow modified Outlook to open off the display area (even when reolution set to max). Can see the app. when 'maximized' only. Uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Couldn't find registry setting for default open 'top' and'left' settings similar to VB and VBA app. options. Any ideas?

Have you tried to right-mouse-click on the program's box in the tray and use the 'move' comand to drag it in? Forgive the obvious, but is it possible that there is a second monitor active but not in use?

First, open Outlook, maximize, then open notepad or some other inconsequential thing, maximize it, then go to the task bar, right click and choose tile windows either vertically or horizontally. That should bring the ap back onto the desktop, and allow you to use it without maximizing.
