Open URL maximized

[Jack Hunt]

When I double click a link to a URL instead of opening normally
maximized, as before, it opens a randomly placed floating task bar on
the desk top and also places it on the task bar at the bottom of the
screen. The floating one has dark background incicating a minimied
condition and the one on the task bar has a white back ground
indicating an open link. A single click on the task bar open link
recalls the floating link and the task bar link now indicates a
minimzed link. Right clicking and choosing maximize opens the link
full screen where I used to go on first clicking the link. I'm not
aware of anything I did to change the settings and I have searched the
help screens uithout success. Choosing the "Restore Defaults" didn't
help.

I'm using Windows ME and Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106.

Your Answer will be appreciated

The first "floating task bar" should be a small window.
Try stretching the small window to full size. (Do not use Maximize)
Ensure that window is the last one closed and IE should remember the
size next time.
