getting a small window :(

[Sam]

In MSN Messenger 6.1 I click when I receive a new email
that alert box that appears in the taskbar. When I click
it, a smal window appears rather than a window that is
maximized. How do I get so when I click it, the window
fills the screen? I been having to click the Maximize
button and getting kind of tired of it.

Any suggestions?

Greetings Sam,

I assume you mean the Internet Explorer window that appears is small? If so, simply close
all Internet Explorer windows, then open a new one, maximize it, and then close the window.
Now, all Internet Explorer windows should open maximized.

Yes, the Internet Explorer window. No that didn't work. I
tried several times. If I open Internet Explorer the
first time, the window gets maximized. Then if I open the
second window it as well is maximized. However, if I
click on the link in MSN Messenger, it doesn't get
maximized. I have to click Max button everytime.

Any other solutions?

Hi Sam,

You're absolutely right, this is because Messenger is essentially opening up a new window for
Internet Explorer. Instead, this method seems to work:
