When I click on a link on a web page and it opens a second window, It opens
off center on my screen, half of it on the screen and half not. I can double
click it and it centers it but I have to do this every time. Is there a way
I can get IE7 to remember to center the second window? I have tried moving
it over and closing it but it still opens off center next time. Please help
if possible. I am using XP SP2 and IE7
The double-click in the top bar maximizes the screen. Instead of
maximizing, realign the window the way you want it, and close it. Click
the link again, and it should open in your preferred position. More:
With IE shortcuts, you can right-click, click Properties, set the "Run:"
pane to "Maximized".
For IE instances opened from links within email and web sites, open one
IE window, drag the edges till it's the preferred size, nearly
maximized, then close the window. Also try closing the window while
pressing the Ctrl key. Usually this will help Windows remember the
preferred size. It'll be changed occasionally, when a popup window is
opened with specific size, and you'll have to do this again. Another
suggestion:
- Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.
- Choose any link on that webpage and right-click, open in a new window.
- Stretch that second window out to the desired size; don't use maximize.
- Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.

To get maximized windows from Desktop and QL shortcuts, create a few
shortcuts to your browser on your Desktop, or Quick Launch bar, then
edit the shortcuts:
1. Change the "Target:" to:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
http://lpga.com
(as an example site.)
2. After adding the internet address, change the "Run:" pane to "Maximized".
(That will make those shortcuts open IE maximized.) There's also
software available that will switch opened windows to the maximized
condition. Here's one:
