Is there a way to make new Internet Explorer windows start out maximized. For example, when I click on a link that opens a new window, it starts out small and in the center of the screen.

[TonyKlein]

They need to be resized manually:

Start IE, right click any link on a web page, and select Open in a New Window.
Go back to the first IE window you opened and close it.
Return to the second window and manually drag it to fill the screen.
(Do not use the maximize button, for that's a temporary setting that will not be retained.)

Now press the Ctrl button, and close this second window, holding the Ctrl button depressed, using 'close' in the File menu (important!).
All windows should now open maximized.

Good luck,

It works! Thanx

Hi Tonyklein........I want to compliment you on this excellent
"maximizing tip".

I have tried many versions of this Tip from different forums and
they never worked after the first one.

Yours was the first and only one that has worked.

Thank you very much and I hope others see this Tip because it
saves a lot of time.

Again....many thanks. Hope you don't mind if I post questions to you in the future.

Have a good day!

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear it worked for you.

However, don't post questions to me personally, but post them at the board instead..

A lot of very smart and knowledgeable people hang out here.

Hi TonyKlein........I meant to say that I would be looking for your
postings. I wouldn't post a question to you personally.

Your right....there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this
forum.

Thanks!

Hi natehong......you have to follow tonyklein"s directions very carefully and it works.
You have to right click on a "hot link" and then a menu drops down > click on "open in a new window">close the first window>
manually drag the second window to fill the screen>press Ctrl and keep depressed while you use the "close" button in the "File"
menu.
That my understanding......good luck. If you have trouble give me a buzz.

great tip...I'm gonna make sure this one makes it's way around the internet

[natehong]

when i open internet explorer it opens up maximized but if i use the right-click --> "open in new window" it doesnt come out maximized

[Prof]

I'm not sure I understand.......the above procedure applies when you open a window that is not maximum size.
In the first small window that is where you right click on "a hot link" and then follow the above procedure.
Good luck! Keep trying......Let me know.

[natehong]

if i use the "open in new window", the new window doesnt open up maximized.

[Prof]

The "new window" is not supposed to be maximized. Drag it manually until it is maximized and then press Ctrl button while you close the window from the file menu.
