Minimised links

[rayharris]

When I click a link within a web page the new link now
usually appears in minimised form. This has only started
to happen recently and I cannot find anything to indicate
how I can get back to having the new page open
automatically in full screen size. I must be missing
something but I cannot find any help notes about this
problem.

Open such a link, close all other IE windows, next grab the edges of the
small window with the mouse and drag it to the size you want it to open, now
close it with the X.
Next time you click a link it will be as you just closed it.

Ray,
Reset Browser Window Size:

Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the second browser window manually by dragging the sides to the
desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you *must* do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
Visit another web site, open a link in a new "window", it should now be the
desired size.
Note: some pop-up browser windows will alter this process if that is the
last one closed.
If that occurs again, you now can resolve this problem.

[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.
