Post by: Lostsoul on February 17, 2008, 01:11:59 AM

everytime i try an open up a new window on IE it comes up in a small little window i have to resize to make it fit the whole screen. i was wondering if there is an option to set it so that every new window that opens up stay the same size. they keep opening up with the little window. thanks alot! i hope this isn't a repost but i couldn't find any other posts out there like this, and wasn't able to find it in the help section of IE.

Upgrade to IE7. You'll have tabs, and no need to play with new window.

That's what the Maximize button if for.   ;)

If IE has amnesia, see Cure IE's Window-Size Amnesia (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,1191762,00.asp)

Hey, soybean....about that link...
I thought, it was supposed to be CTRL, and "X", not SHIFT, but maybe I'm mistaken.
Another way to try, is to hold CTRL, and click File>Close
