It sounds like what you are saying is that your GP page is opened part way and you are still missing the bar at the bottom. The little square you are talking about is at the top of my window and nothing is on the bottom except the bar. You have two options you can try.You haven't said anything about the tool bar on top so I'm guessing it's there. If so, click on "view" and click on tool bars and make sure "status bar" is checked If it isn't,that bottom bar will disappear from your GP window. See if that works for you.

Thanks bob414 for that link. I will be checking it out!

once you have pulled it out to the full size where you want it then go up to the top click on file then exit to close out the window, next time you open the browser it will keep that setting, you have to close it that way or by clicking on the big E for IE and click close, do not close using the red x.

Don't depend on title insurance and adverse possession. I ran into this in Louisiana. Neighbor had placed a wood fence encroaching on my property 27 years prior to my purchase. In Louisiana adverse possession takes 30 years. The title company advised me of this fence encroachment at closing. I tore down the fence believing it was mine. Turns out in Louisiana, fencing is considered personalty and not realty. I was in the wrong. I should have sued the neighbor to remove the fence. I had to pay damages for a 27 year old rotten wood fence. Neighbor was a royal plated ass and an attorney. While I could have prevailed in court, it would have taken five years to get there and it wasn't costing this guy a dime. I settled and sold the house. Why is this important to the current situation?. Get your own real estate attorney. Don't depend on the title company lawyer. Have your own attorney advise you of your options. It will be the best money you have ever spent. It's better to get this out in the open right now while you could still walk away. Take no one's word for it. Make sure you have your own survey. Let everyone know in writing that you plan to erect a fence upon closing. Your attorney will let you know how to proceed.
