IE 6.0 Start-Up Window Size

[Larry H.]

Hi,
I am currently running IE 6.0 and have recently been
downloading some additional stationery for my Outlook
Express. Since I have done this, my IE 6.0 Browser
screen starts up as a very narrow strip across the screen
rather than my normal full screen. I have to click the
Maximize button EVERY time I start it up to get it so
that I can even view the web pages..

What could I have done wrong to cause this ??? Can
anyone help me correct this little problem ?????

I really appreciate the help in these newsgroups.

IE5.5 to IE6.

Please help.

The narrow strip is most likely a very small partial (minimized is
incorrect) window. "Grab" the edges of it to stretch it to full-size (but
do not use the Maximize button). Close any other windows and then close
this one. Windows remembers the size of the last window opened in any
application. More:
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers.htm#new_window_max (and if no joy
afterwards, see http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers2.htm#window_small).

To make your first IE window in a session alway opens truly maximized:
Start>Programs>Internet Explorer>right-click>Properties>Run>select
'maximized'
