IE 6 Won't Open New Windows Maximized?

[Guest]

Hi,
Recently, IE 6 (SP2) started opening new windows in about 3/4 size. They
always use to open in full size. This started after I used MSN software and I
closed the messanger bar on the right side of the MSN. Why this would effect
IE is beyond me but that is when it started.
I have looked all over for settings and find none. I maximize each window
manually and exit with them maximized but no luck. Same problem.
Any ieas would be appreciated.

Windows remembers the size of the last Normal IE window closed.
Open such a window.
Don't use the maximize button.
Stretch the edges/corners so that the window fills the screen.
Close all other IE windows.
Close the stretched window.

If that doesn't do it try the REG file here:

Thanks guys, that worked. I had tried maximizing the new windwos but would
not close it last. CLosing it last did the trick.
