....somewhere unrelated like google eg; drug search???
1st issue is when I click on a link the new window opens less than full
size. This is pretty anoying and I hope it is just a setting somewhere that I
have been unable to find??? Help??
2nd: quite often when clicking on a link (such as a picture link), instead
of going to that link, a new page opens in Google or some other totally
unrelated site that I do not want to go to! Is there a setting adjustment so
I can be taken to the link I want instead of some unrelated site or search
fulfillment totally unrelated! Help??? It seems as though these unrelated
sites have control over my computer! Is that possible??
 
Hi,
1. Window size...
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 that second resized window.

To always get a true maximized window...
