Question about the internet explorer window size. When opening up a new
browser window, it is small. I want to resize it and make it that size the
next time new internet explorer window opens up. This small window only
happens when, for example, I open up messenger and then am prompted that I
have new hotmail. the ie window opens up and that is when it is small. it
doesn't show the small window when I simply double click the ie icon on the
desktop. I've tried to stretch the window, close it and then re-open it.
that doesn't seem to work.

I am running XP MCE and IE 7.

Thanks,
Greg
 
Hi,
Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.
Choose any link on that webpage and right-click> open in a new window.
Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use maximize.
Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.

To always get a true maximized window...

Thanks. That fixed it. That was a pain. Always opening a new window and
having to resize it. I'll have to copy and save your instructions.
