Keeping Windows Sized

[Steve Horrillo]

Is there a way to keep the windows in Explorer sized to the way I want them.
I've tried sizing it then closing the window while holding down the Ctrl key
but it's just a matter of time that some pop up or something resizes it.

Hi,
Try setting the size of 2 IE windows.

To get all windows fullsize.

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.

It's more difficult to get all windows to open smaller than full size and to
retain that setting.

To always get a true maximized window...
