Something strange has recently happened to my windows
size on some web sites. I am using ie6.o and when I click
on a new page inside some web sites it does not open up
fully. It looks as if you manually made the it much
smaller than normal. About the size of a disposeable
lighter. If I maximize it, it opens fine to normal size
and then I can make it even larger if I click on view and
go to full screen. Strangely enough not all web sites do
this, and I have 3 of the same dell systems at my office
and mine is the only one that is doing it on those web
sites. I believe, (because I was experimenting one day)
that I have a setting that is off a little and it is
driving me crazy. Can anyone give me advice or some
things to check? Thanks
 
Lee,
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.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window_Placement"=

Right-click on "Window_Placement" and select: Delete
Note: Remember to Export the key before editing.

When all else fails, paste the below line into Start | Run
javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)

Then make *sure* the above window is the last one closed.
