Hi Jim
Try the following and see if it helps:
How to Maximize Windows:
IE remembers the size of the last secondary window closed and uses that for
all future secondary windows...so long as you don't resize it using the
Maximize button which is a temporary setting and won't be retained. And
don't close it by using the X in the upper right corner of rhe window. You
must go to the toolbar and use the File>Exit
Here are the steps for forcing all secondary windows to open maximized:
1. Open IE, go to a page with links
2. Open a link in a new window
3. Grab the corners/edges of the secondary window and drag it to the size
and placement you want, do not use the maximize button
4. Close the original window - important step, don't overlook it!
5. Close the window you just resized
All future IE secondary windows will open using the size and placement of
the window you closed in step 5.
Also….Coutesy of Don Varnau -
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...
