Resizing Screen (Window) in IE
How to resize small windows
Note for Internet Explorer Users: The latest explorer seems to open
all subsequent windows into a "small size", which you must then
maximize or enlarge. I found a fix for this searching the Usenet
newsgroups.:
Start IE, right click any URL and select Open in a New Window.
Go back to the first IE window you opened and close it.
Return to the second window and manually drag it to fill the screen.
(Do not use the maximize button)
Close this second window, using the close box.
All IE5 windows should now open as maximized as you positioned your
second window.
or...................
For your small screen, if you have already tried the maximize, by
clicking on the center tab open the upper right corner of the screen,
then do the following:
Pass the cursor over the right side of the screen until you get a two
ended arrow <--->, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the
edge of the screen to the right as far as you want it. Then do the
same on all the other sides
until it fills the screen. Then close the Explorer and see it the
screen is now fully open
