Internet Explorer Opens Small -please help-

[Overclocked412]

Whenever I open Internet explorer, The window size is small, Is there anyway to make it default to maximizing when opening?

[extreme_gamer]

yes, resize the window to the size you want. hold down the shift button then close the window. open IE back up and there you go. - well i think so!

[Overclocked412]

Not working :-(

[extreme_gamer]

well that's what i've been told, maybe it's control? i dunno, somebody else will come in real soon i bet.

It works, but wont work when I maximize it and then close and reopen

[Overclocked412]

I can ghetto maximize it by making it almost maximized , except not really maximized (you know, like stretching it full size), and it works that way, But it wont If I maximize it

ok right click on the IE button and then go to open window: Maximized, works for me

That opens up the internet properties, I even tried to internet explorer program files folder and tried that with the iexplorer.exe, but that section wasnt availible. I just ended up downloadin a lil proggie call winmax or somethin, it takes like 0.0001 resource and automatically maximizes ie windows

I think there is a way to set it in the registry. I remember reading that to start off with windows remembers your preferred size of window after a 100 or so times its opened, then it moves onnto only changing the size it opens up with after 1000 or so.

Annoys me aswell, mainly becasue the window opens nearly maximized but not :/

Ill go see if i can fine it seeing as im bored ( at college )

edit: Perhaps this will help? i dont know if its the right thing but anyway,here

You need to create a shortcut for IE. Then from it's properties select 'maximized' as startup method. It will not work for the exe, only for the shortcut.
