If this is off the subject for this group, just throw rocks at me!!

I am using I.E. 6 on a Windows XP Pro. machine I have been to the XP NG's
and seen that many other people are having the same problem as I. There are
many responses to the posts and I have tried all the suggestions, none work.

The problem being, I.E. will not re-open to a maximized screen even though
it was shut down maximized. All of the other applications do. I know I could
stretch the minimized screen and it will re-open in that condition or I
could choose full screen but I would appreciate any information you may have
to help resolve this issue.

TIA JAX
 
Hi Jax,

Close all browser windows first. Try deleting the Window_Placement key
located at the following Registry path:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

Also delete this: [But all your folder customizations will be lost]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

Restart Internet Explorer.

1. Open a link.
2. Don't use the maximize button.
3. Stretch the edges/corners so that the window fills the screen.
4. Close all other IE windows.
5. Close the stretched window last.

However, the above procedure is not equivalent to SHOWMAXIMIZED API call.
Best option is to use "IE New Window maximizer"

(Uses Windows API calls and automatically maximizes every browser window you
open)
