Window retreats back when maximized

Hi, I need help. When I am browsing a site or a window and I open another
window, it opens as a reduced window. If I click to maximize it, it goes to
the back of all the other open windows instead of becoming the default
window. So, I have to move or hunt for the newly opened window. This just
started happening within the last 2 to 3 months and frankly its getting
really annoying. I was hoping it would just go away but not with my luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Copy and paste this in your Browser window;
"javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)"

Windows remembers the size of the last Normal IE window closed.
Open such a link.
Don't use the maximize button.
Stretch the edges/corners so that the window fills the screen.
Close all other IE windows.
Close the stretched window.

If that doesn't do it try the REG file here:
