Maximizing web page size from desktop - PLEASE HELP!

[toni]

I have web pages that I visit often saved as shortcuts on
my desktop. When I used to click on the icon, the full
web page would open up, but today it's been opening only a
very tiny window and I have to click maximum to get it to
open up all the way. How can I change the default setting
back to maximum??

Could you also e-mail the answer to me at:

Thank you.

What is small? The Interenet Explorer Window, or the web page inside
Internet Explorer?

What changed from "yesterday" when it worked, to today?

You have two posts on same subject but this is more specific. For
shortcuts, right-click on each of them, select Properties. Then in the
dialog box, click on the V triangle to right of "Run", then click on
"Maximized" in the drop-down list, finally Apply and OK buttons. I do this
regularly.

You do that with shortcuts to web pages? Interesting, on my machine
shortcuts to web pages (*.url not *.lnk files) do not have the run item
with a Maximized selection available.

You can make a desktop shortcut with a target line that reads
(example):
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.tvguide.ca
Then you have access to the Run ... maximized area.
