After some adware removal and instalation of an allternative browser the IE
page appears on the screen about 3/4" below the top of the screen, below a
row of desktop items. I am unable to drag it back into place. I would
appreicate advice on how to put it back. Thanks.

Remove any 'Auto-hide' option for the Windows taskbar and while the window
is maximized, resize the taskbar then return it to the desired size. This is
to try to make Windows re-calculate the window size and boundaries.

If no joy, run regedit and remove these registry key values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\window_placement

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Desktop\OldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects

Then reboot.
