opening windows

polux3 · 09-11-2006, 06:38 PM

Hi,
When I am on a website and click on a word or a link that opens a new IE window, this new window is small.
Therefore I have to maximize it everytime, which gets a little tiring.
How can I set it so the new windows open already maximized, taking the whole screen?

Thank you for your help.

This works for me.
Open Internet Explorer
Shift + click a link to force it to open in a separate window
Alt + Tab to return to the first window
Close it, leaving only the small window open
Drag the window edges/corners to adjust the size
Close the resized window

Another way,
Open one IE browser window. Click on a link to open a second.
With the second, drag the corners to the edges of the screen.
Do 'Not' hit the maximize icon. Close the first window, then the second
(the order of closing is important).
Make sure you do File, Close; do 'Not use the X button!

Another way,
Maximize Internet Explorer On Opening

Either way the next time you open a second browser window,
IE saves the new default window size.

Is a program which will change the behaviour of IE and make new windows
open maximized.
