Running IE6 under Win2K. When IE is closed, its size is
not remembered (full or intermediate screen)-- you have to
resize it every time you open it. MS KB has a number of
references to this problem, but none for Win2K. This
happens if you exit thru the file menu or use the X close
button.
 
OPen only one IE window.
Maunually resize it to whatever size you want. Do not use
the maximize button.
Close this window.
The size will now be remembered....
 
Bob,
Reset Browser Window Size:

Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the second browser window manually by dragging the sides to the
desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you *must* do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
Visit another web site, open a link in a new "window", it should now be the
desired size.
Note: some pop-up browser windows will alter this process if that is the
last one closed.
If that occurs again, you now can resolve this problem.

[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.
