Can you automatically maximize all windows when they first come on your
monitor screen, if so how do you set it to do so?
 
Old Goat,

You'll need an application such as 'IE New Window Maximizer' (free).

The best you can do without this is to open IE, hold down your mouse button
and drag the corners of IE to it's furthest point at all 4 corners. Then
close IE. This wasn't acceptable for me and have been using 'IE New Window
Maximizer' for over a year without any problems. I recommend it.

Tip:
Use my above step 'hold down your mouse button and drag the corners of IE to
it's furthest point at all 4 corners' after installing. If the IE windows
aren't expanded in this way I notice an annoying flicker each time an IE
window is opened & expanded by the app.

If you right-click the program shortcut > Properties
then you can set it to start maximized via the "Run" box on the Shortcut
tab.

Hello!

What if you don't have a 'Shortcut' tab under the shortcut's Properties??
 
First, *close all other windows*. Now, grab the corners of the window and
drag it to full screen size. Close the window using File | Close, or File |
Exit depending what program you're in. Windows will remember the last screen
size used the next time you open the program.

Thanks for the response...! what I have is XP Home Edition. I have a
Yahoo! icon and so opened it which came up normal size. I then did what you
said and used File | Exit and re-opened it - it still came up normal. I then
re-opend Yahoo! using the same icon, resized it, created a new shortcut icon,
File | Exit and re-opened using the new shortcut icon - it still came up in
normal mode.

More suggestions...??
 
Be sure you close on the File menu and NOT with the red X in the upper
right.
