For some reason recently, something was changed on my
computer (probably by a 7 year old) and when I click on a
site the window is only partially opened and I have to
click on the box to enlarge to be able to read anything.

Any idea on how to fix this?

I've looked all over help and in settings and didn't see
anything. It's making me crazy and seems like such a
wasted step. Thanks in advance.
 
Place your mouse over a corner of the window and drag it into a full screen
size. Close the window, using either the File>Close or the close box in the
upper right of the window. Open the application or program and it should
now be full screen for you.
 
txjayhwk,
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.
