How can I make Internet Explorer windows open up into the maximum window
evertime? I have the shritcut set to open to a maximum window, but when I
click on links that open in their own window they are not maximized, and I
have to do it manually.

Drag the window to the max size a few times and I.E. will eventually
remember it.

Switch to Mozilla. More stable. Fewer security holes. Keep IE around for the
rare web site that "breaks" with Mozilla. And, of course, keep IE around for
Windows and other Micro$oft product updates... Ben Myers

Not an option. However, I think I figured out why it changes. It
seems to open in smaller windows when resource levels are down or have
not been returned. Also, if you have tons of windows/applications
running already in the background and are really tasking your
resources, IE will open in a smaller window. After rebooting and
getting resources back up, I see that it opens in larger windows.
This seems to be more of a problem in 98/98SE than 2000 and for sure
less of a problem in XP. And one of the difference in the three OS's
is that with each newer version, the OS's handled the return of their
resources better.
This is my observation and could be wrong so don't bet the bank on it.

Thomas

IE default window size
The actual control for the default window size varies from program to
program, but for the most part it is determined by what size it was when you
closed it. For instance, if a window is full screen when it’s closed, it
will generally open in full screen mode. If it is in ‘windowed’ mode and in
a certain position on the desktop when it’s closed, it should open in that
exact size and position when it is opened next.
With pop-up and pop-under ads becoming so prevalent on the Internet, it is
possible that the last Internet Explorer window that you closed was an ad,
which would explain why your browser sometimes opens in windowed mode.
Try to pay attention to the size of the Internet Explorer window (or any
program for that matter) before you close it. If it is not full screen,
click on the ‘Maximize’ icon (between the _ and the X in the top right
corner of the window) before closing the window.
If you want to force Internet Explorer to open in the exact same size every
time, you can use a trick incorporated by many web developers that allows
them to view their projects at specific resolutions.
Click on ‘Tools’ then ‘Internet Options…’ and place the following in the
Home Page Address section: (all one line, no spaces)
javascript:resizeTo(800,600);moveTo(0,0);document.location.href='yourhomepag
e'
Be sure to put your desired start page in the single quote marks at the end
(example: ‘http://datadoctors.com‘). The (800,600) portion should be set to
match your display settings if you want it to be full screen. The above
example is for 800 by 600 pixels.
To determine your screen resolution setting, right-click on any blank part
of your Desktop, then choose ‘Properties’ to open the Display Properties
window. Click on the ‘Settings’ tab, then look in the ‘Screen Resolution’
section for your current setting.
If you alternate screen resolutions, enter the highest resolution you will
use in the script so that it will always be full screen as you increase or
decrease your display size.
If you are having similar problems with other programs, such as the Windows
Explorer or just can’t seem to get the above suggestions to work, there is a
free program that you can download that will force the opening size and
position for virtually any program.
It’s called ‘AutoSizer’ from a company called South Bay Software. It’s a
fairly small download (125 Kb) and it works with just about any version of
Windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 & XP).
It runs in the background in the ‘System Tray’ (down by the clock) so it
works without constant user interaction. You can download it from their web
site at: http://southbaypc.com/autosizer.

Try dragging the lower right corner of the window(s), with your mouse arrow,
to the size you want it(them). I think it will stay that size. Good luck.
