How to keep windows maximized?

[Bob]

Is their a setting in IE that maximizes all windows when opened? I've tried
stretching the windows to max size, but when reopened they are still at min.

A few options:

Whichever shortcut you are using to launch the window, right click it and
select proeprties. Under the 'Run' drop-down, choose "Maximixed".

If the window still opens small, try this next:

First, *close all other windows*. Now, grab the corners of the window and
drag it to full screen size. Close the window using File>Close, or File>Exit
depending what program you're in. Windows will remember the last screen size
used the next time you open the program.
