New windows opens at small (default) size

[Peter]

How can I set a new window to always open full screen? Example, when I
open a page it is where I've set it; full screen. If I click a link within
that page, the new window opens at the default small size.

Well thanks but that link is archaic and doesn't have an answer. I also
posted to 3 groups as I wasn't sure if it was a Vista problem or an IE7
problem.

Vista - IE7 and no these are actual web pages not pop-ups. I see PA Bear is
in a bad mood ;-)

Windows remembers the size of the last Normal IE window closed.
Open such a link.
Don't use the maximize button.
Stretch the edges/corners so that the window fills the screen.
Close all other IE windows.
Close the stretched window.

If that doesn't do it try the REG file here:

IE New Window Maximiser seems to have done the trick. Thanks Frank.

Brink,

Thanks but I already fixed it using a tool that Frank Saunders mentioned.

The instructions apply to IE7 in Vista and will address the issue, Peter.

Sorry, I didn't find it the first time you posted the link. My eyesight
isn't that good but now I see it, thanks.

Still, it's good to hear that IE New Windows Maximzer works in Vista.
Thanks for that.
