IE Window doesn't start Maximized

HardwareNewbie3 · 04-09-2005, 12:14 AM

Hi all.

On my shortcut, I've set IE to open maximized.
However, when I click on a link from that maximized window, the newer IE windows are NOT maximized.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks,
-Alex

The 'problem' you have described isn't infact an issue at all, it is doing exactly what it is meant to do.

The shortcut will not affect any subsequent windows you open up via the initial window, this is because when you click on a new link in the opening window, it will allow you to still see the first window.

Not really anything wrong with it, but you will not be able to change it as far as I am aware, as there isn't an option to do so.

Cheers,
Slathe

Try resizing the subsequent window manually. That should tell IE that you want that window that size the next time.

Open IE, make sure it's the only instance running. Size the window the size you want it. Close the window. Next time you open it, it should be the size you selected.
