New windows opening small

[joe ruggeri]

This is an odd behavior that just started. When I open a new window from within
IE 6.0 (such as right-clicking on a link and choosing "Open in New Window", it
opens at about 1/4th of the size of a maximized window (my screen res is 1024 x
768). I find it annoying to have to maximize every new window.

When I first run IE, it opens maximized, no problem. It's just those subsequent
windows that open small. I'm running Win2K pro. Any ideas how to fix this?

When you open up one of those small windows instead of
pressing the maximize button instead try to pull the
corners expanding the window manually to as large as
possible and then close the window next time you open it,
it should be the same size that you just pulled that
window's size to. I hope that works

Joe,
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.
