Maximize windows....How?

[Wakeboarder141]

This is sort of a simple question that I have not been able to figure out. Is there a way to make my Internet Explorer always open in mazimized mode rather than into the window size? It seems like the window size reverts to the size it was when closed, but every once in a while it still opens in a smaller window rather than a full size one. Thanks for any help you can give.

this worked for me...

open two IE windows.
maximize both,
close only one
open one more.
if it opened full screen you should be set,
if not try opening more than two, maximize then close one and reopen.

That works, but when I open a new window from the favorites under the start menu it still comes up in the smaller window.

Maximize Internet Explorer On Opening
Problem: When Internet Explorer opens it can range in size anywhere from that of a postage stamp to almost filling the screen. Clicking the maximize button works for that particular window but the next time you open IE the same situation repeats.

Solution: The default behavior for Internet Explorer is to open at the same size it was at the last time it was closed. While the default does apply in many cases it's not always consistent. Try the following workaround.

Open a single Internet Explorer window to the smaller size.
Drag the corners of the window until it completely fills the screen. Do not use the maximize button to enlarge the window.
Hold down the Ctrl key, keep it depressed, and using the mouse click File and then Exit on the menu bar. Do not use the "X" in the upper right corner to close the window.
Internet Explorer should now open in a full window.
If it still opens to a smaller size repeat the above instructions, substituting the "Shift" key for the "Ctrl" key.
