When I open an instance of IE6 browser by rt clicking on a link 'in a
new window', I want it to open in a 'maximized' window. I used to be
able to do it in Win 98 but haven't found yet a way around in XP. I
will appreciate any help!

Drag the window using the double arrows to full size, then use File/Close.

The thing is, the solution given (cut and pasted above) only allows new
browser windows to open at maximum size rather than 'maximized', there is a
difference. I would like them to open 'maximized' too, I guess this isn't
possible in XP.

No ma'm. My posting of 8th July still stands alone, unanswered by
Kelly or anyone else. It could be that my news reader has for some
reasom failed to display it. I use the Google to access this
newsgroup. Now, will you or someone else who has access to Kelly's
reply, kindly cut and paste it here? I will be much obliged.

Vijay,

The reply from Kelly;

"Drag the window using the double arrows to full size, then use File/Close."

You may want to view the link in my sig line for better access to
newsgroups.

First, thanks Freddy for the 'cut & paste' from Kelly's reply that
still hasn't shown up on my 'google' newsgroup.

This solution doesn't work on my setup. It used to on Win 98 but it
doesn't on my XP. When I rt. click to open a link in a different
window, no matter what I do to maximize that window and then
'file/close' it, the browser doesn't seem to remember it as the very
next time I try it, the browser again opens in a very small window. I
am not overly concerned about 'maximam' v/s 'maximized' so long I can
get it to open on full screen but try as I may, I haven't been able to
accomplish this.

I will appreciate any hints or help.

My system, if it matters, is an Athelon 3000+, 1G RAM, 160G HD X 2,
Radeon 9200 Video Card, WinXP Home, Syncmaster 191t TFT monitor.

Then the answer's simple - set these groups up in
OE/Agent/NewsHound/Netscape Communicator/newsreader of your choice. Google
doesn't archive in real time so shouldn't be relied upon as a newsclient.
The server is msnews.microsoft.com and set-up instructions can be found in
your client's help.
