Hi,
Try this procedure...
Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.
Choose any link on that webpage and right-click> open in a new window.
Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use maximize.
Close the first IE window. Then close the second window.
To get those shortcuts to open (truly) maximized, you may have to modify
them to include the path to IEXPLORE.EXE That will give you the option in
Properties> Shortcut> Run to select Maximized.
Here's the procedure...
Find "IExplore.exe" (probably in Program Files\Internet Explorer)
Right-click and drag IExplore.exe to the desktop and choose "Create
shortcut." Right-click that shortcut> Properties> Target, modify the Target
to include the URL.
Example:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
becomes
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
www.yahoo.com
Note a space between EXE" and ww
Rename the shortcut if desired.
Or, it should also work to start with a target of
www.yahoo.com then add the
path to IEXPLORE.EXE
Hope this helps,

I have a couple of IE shortcuts on my desktop. When I open them, they open
to a small window. How do I get them to open to full screen ???
