You need to put your cursor on the corner of the window where it should turn into a double sided arrow.
Click and hold the left mouse button and drag the window up and to the center of the screen. This should shrink the screen. Then you drag the screen over to the middle of the screen and everything should be ok. Close the window and reopen it to make sure the settings are held.
Reply back with your results please

Also, to quickly minimize or maximize a window, just double click a window in the top; as shown in the picture.

Thanks. I already tried that, it didn't work. It stretched the window, but it was still cutoff. Actually, now I can't even get the double arrow to appear.

Can you send a picture to accurately describe your problem. Just attach it to your next post.

See what happens when you change the theme back to the default, Luna.
Right click the desktop, and choose Properties. Then go to the Themes tab. Then from the drop-down box, choose Windows XP. If that doesn't fix your problem, then choose Windows Classic, and try again.
When did this problem start to happen? What theme are you using for the pics?

This started about a month ago. I went online one night and noticed it didn't fill the screen as usual. I thought maybe my wife changed something but she said she wasn't on that day. I was running the Firefox Netscape theme with the Personas addon. I tried the XP and Classic, didn't make any difference. It's really not that big of a deal, just bugs me. Thought maybe it was an easy fix.

Try running a sfc check.
If you have your Windows CD, then go to Start -> Run -> sfc /scannow
If you don't have your Windows CD, then check the root of your C: Drive, and make sure it has a folder named I386.
Then, do the registry tweak described here: http://www.updatexp....cannow-sfc.html
Then reboot and try using sfc.
