Increasing window size

[Bob]

When I go from my desktop to my internet homepage (yahoo), I sometimes get a
small window , and sometimes get a whole-page size window. I prefer the
whole-page size without having to click that middle restore button on the
upper right-hand corner of my screen everytime I go to my homepage.

First, what are the names that describe the smaller size window, and the
larger one? Is that what a thumbnail is?

Second, I must presume there's a setting somewhere, where I can toggle the
whole-page size preference when I go from my desktop to homepage. Can you
tell me if there is, and how do I get to it?

Thank you for your assistance, and Merry Christmas. -Bob

To permantly size your window to full-screen, first minimize or close all
other windows.
Then, Open your browser window. Now, right-click on the taskbar and select
Show Windows Stacked.
Then close your browser. Next time you open it, it will open full-frame.

A thumbnail is an icon representing a window; it shows the window
contents in miniature. Not related to what you are asking about.

Close all browser windows, then open a new one and set it the way you
like it. Close that window and the next time it should open the way you
last had it.

If you have more that one browser window open, the last one you closed
will rule.

In my experience, the above solution is not 100% dependable, i.e., some
time in the future, the window size will change again. And I mostly
don't use Internet Explorer, so I'm not sure if it behaves quite that
way. ISTR that it does, however.

Minimised, Restored, and Maxamise are the three window states.

This is what I do too, same deal for Outlook.
