Opening windows in full and not half

[Guest]

I know this is a simple question, but I just can't find the answer to it. I
just had to reinstall Vista Home Premium. Each time I open a my Internet
Explorer or Firefox, and go to another site, my window opens inside my page
as a half window. How do I change this so that if I am on let's say Yahoo,
and want to go to sports and have it open to a full window in my I nternet
Expl. Like I said, I am getting a half a window and not the whole window. I
tried the drag to open it an extend to a full window but when I go back to
it, it opens in a half window again. Thanks for reading and thanks for
answering my question.

Right click the task bar. Have you got show windows side by side ticked?

No. It's not. Maybe I did not ask the question correctly. If I open IE, and
go to a favorite, it does not open to a full screen, it just opens half and
on top of the previous screen. I want to go from yahoo and while viewing the
full screen, then go to a favorite and have that window open to a full
window, not what I am getting now which is almost like a half of screen and
then I have to maximize the new window. I use to have it, but I had to
reinstall Vista and now I don't have it. Thanks for your reply.

Re-size the 2nd window to the full size.
