Whenever I open a link the new window opens in small in the top left of my
screen and I have to physically drag it to open it to a viewable size, how
can i prevent this from happening?

Problem: When Internet Explorer opens it can range in size anywhere from that of
a postage stamp to almost filling the screen. Clicking the maximize button works
for that particular window but the next time you open IE the same situation
repeats.

Solution: The default behavior for Internet Explorer is to open at the same size
it was at the last time it was closed. While the default does apply in many
cases it's not always consistent.

Try the following workaround.
.. Open a single Internet Explorer window to the smaller size.
.. Drag the corners of the window until it completely fills the screen. Do not
use the maximize button to enlarge the window.
.. Hold down the Ctrl key, keep it depressed, and using the mouse click File and
then Exit on the menu bar. Do not use the "X" in the upper right corner to close
the window.
.. Internet Explorer should now open in a full window.

This resizing trick worked like a charm. Though when I used Windows
Messenger to launch a IE session, still came out small. So I resized that
one using your tip and now it opens full screen.

Thanks for the help!
