IE doesn't maximize automatically

hollisterco · 06-27-2005, 03:51 PM

Does anyone know how to make my IE maximize automatically? When I click the quick launch icon it does but sometimes if I right click and "open in a new window," the browser is smaller. It's frustrating because I have to click the maximize everytime (I have a habit of opening more than one IE). I press SHIFT, CRTL and ALT and make it bigger but it's not maxed. And then when I right click open a new window from the reformatted one it will open to where I stretched it but still not to max.

Thanks.

do this, it usually works for me.

Do the open in new window thing, and then maximize it.

Leave it there, and close all of the instances of IE. Don't browse to any websites or anything, just do this.

It should work. If not, let me know, and we'll try something else.
