IE new window size

[Richard Fangnail]

There are many threads about what to do if IE new windows are not full
sized. The steps I've always seen are below but it's not working for
me. I have XP SP1 with IE6. Do you have any other suggestions? Note:
the non-full sized window is very close to full size. Perhaps that has
to do with it. Also, if I use ctrl-n for a new window, it is full
size. But not if I right click a link and do Open In New Window.

1. Open Internet Explorer 6 in a full window.
2. Hold shift and click a link OR right click and choose open in new
window.
3. The new window opens at less-than-full-size.
4. Re-size the window by dragging (not with the maximize button)
5. Close it with the 'X'
6. Select the same link again, either method to open it in a new
window.
7. The new window will be the same size as I had re-sized it in the 4th

step.

IE stores the size of new windows in the registry value "Window_Placement" (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main). Anyway, by design, windows opened from 'Open in New Window' cannot be completely maximized (although they could be 'nearly' full-size as you've seen).

Maybe you should take a look at AutoSizer: http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/.
