When I launch a window from a link with another window
the second (or daughter) window does not open up to the
full screen. I have to expand it manually. How can I get
it automatically open to full screen? This only started
happening in the last week. (When I initiate a brand new
window using the Explorer icon it opens full screen.)

BobC,
Reset Browser Window Size:

Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the second browser window manually by dragging the sides to the
desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you *must* do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
Visit another web site, open a link in a new "window", it should now be the
desired size.
Note: some pop-up browser windows will alter this process if that is the
last one closed.
If that occurs again, you now can resolve this problem.

[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.

Go to start menu, choose all programs, right click on IE,
Left click on properties, click on shortcut, in the run
line, change setting to maximized. Then click on apply,
then OK.
