Using XPHome & IE6. What do I do to resize my Internet Explorer windows so they always open to the maximum size? TIA, Fran
 
First, *close all other windows*. Now, grab the corners of the window and drag it to full screen size. Close the window using File>Close, or File>Exit depending what program you're in. Windows will remember the last screen size used the next time you open the program.

Bruce, I tried to follow your instructions, but I went wrong somewhere. Not
sure what you mean by *close all other windows*. Do I start by closing all
windows and then open IE, for example. Your help and clearification is
appreciated. Thanks much, Fran

Are you just going from your Desktop to IE and it opens up
small? If that's the case, then there are no other windows
open. By Close other windows, if you opened IE to your
homepage and that was OK, but then clicked a Favorite or
such and it opened small, you should close IE from the
System Tray and then do the fix.

Make sure all other IE windows are closed and close that one last, you might find having a local file set as your homepage helps a bit too, I find it helps.
