All web pages appear minimized - how can I restore?

Starting this morning, all web pages on which I click appear on the
screen in minimized format. When I click to expand them to full size,
they do expand. However, the next
page I open then appears minimized and I must manually click to expand
the page.

I assume that I inadvertently click on something that caused this, but
I've searched and can't find the answer.

Can anyone help me to restore this so that I get full size pages every
time?

Thanks.

Click to expand...

Windows remembers the size of the last Normal IE window closed.
Open such a link.
Don't use the maximize button.
Stretch the edges/corners so that the window fills the screen.
Close all other IE windows.
Close the stretched window.

If that doesn't do it try the REG file here:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEMax
 
Try stretching the small window to full size. (Do not use Maximize)
Ensure that window is the last one closed and IE should remember the
size next time.

How do you maximise?
You need to drag edge of page to full size not click in top right hand
corner for it to stick.
 
It worked! Thanks to all who helped. Much obliged.

P.S. My wife and I are (were) big fans of Inspector Morse.
John Thaw was great. We saw all the episodes. And I just
loved the way he pronounced and enunciated the name
"Lewis," when he summoned his sidekick. Very British.
