[mindy carter]

I don't know what I did, but whenever a new IE browser
window opens, it is minimized??? Anyone have the answer??
Thanks!

If it's just less than full size, then stretch it out to full size and make
it the last IE window you close.

Or right-click the shortcut> Properties> Shortcut> Run> choose Normal
Window.

Hope this helps,
Don

Hi -
Thanks for the advice, but I can't get it to apply to my
problem - the window is not just small, it is totally
minimized, so resizing doesn't work. I don't understand
your second paragraph - when I right-click the shortcut
and click Properties, it just brings up information about
the link, there is nowhere for me to click anything?????
Am I misunderstanding your message?
Thanks!

Open such a window.
Don't choose Maximize.
Close all other windows.
Right click the entry and choose Restore (if it isn't grayed out).
Right click its entry on the taskbar and choose Size.
Use the arrow keys to make it the size you want (or at least some of it is
on the screen).
You may have to use a right click on the taskbar an choose Move to get the
top onto the screen.
Close it that way, making sure that it is the last IE window closed.
