Windows do not open full screen

[Scott]

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

open just fine full screen and others do not.

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.
