Hi, I am using internet explorer 6...Some of my windows do
not open full screen unless I maximize it. Also sometimes
I can not maximize a window that is minimized on the tool
bar unless I right click and select maximize. Seems to be
yahoo sites mostly. Maybe a problem with my messenger?
 
I know this one, i think,. Right click on internet
explorers icon, go to properties. In the shortcut tab make
sure it says Run: Normal window

There is no shortcut tab in properties...some windows
Click to expand...
open just fine full screen and others do not.

My windows don't always open full and somtimes when they
Click to expand...
do they are off set and are not center or covering
previous window as before??
 
Scott,
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.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window_Placement"=

Right-click on "Window_Placement" and select: Delete
Note: Remember to Export the key before editing.
--
When all else fails, paste the below line into Start | Run
javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)

Then make *sure* the above window is the last one closed.
