Internet Explorer settings stuck

[Guest]

When I open internet explorer it comes up in a restored state - not
maximized, so everytime I open the browser I have to maximize it. It only
recently started to do this. I tried resetting to default settings but
nothing changed. I have search help to exhaustion and cannot find how to set
the page to come up maximized. any suggestions?

Hi dendinsd

Maximize Windows



Courtesy of Alan Edwards -

Try stretching the small window to full size. (Do not use Maximize)
Ensure that window is the last one closed and IE should remember the
size next time.

or......




Courtesy of Jim Byrd:

"Close all windows EXCEPT the one that opens "minimized"; right click on
your Task Bar, either on the open space on the right or left end (your
choice); select "Tile Windows Horizontally" and IE will maximize; close IE.
Re-open IE and it will be maximized. Just showed a buddy this trick
yesterday and works like a charm. Enjoy."

IE New Window Maximizer 2.4.0.1 - Free
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1746
(Uses Windows API calls and automatically maximizes every browser window you
open)


There's also AutoSizer, free, here:

http://www.southbaypc.com/ (what I
use, BTW)



also...




Use the "launch IE Browser" shortcut, you can R-click>properties>run
Maximized>apply>OK out. That works as well.



Hope this helps

Greetings,

I was always able to save the window size by holding down the SHIFT key
and clicking on X (to close the window)... it always seemed to work for me.
