Don't Know

[Ron]

I have beginning Alzheimers and can't get it all together. I want to have
all new windows opened in maximum style. Currently, they open in half
screen. I can't think how to ask the question properly;

Thanks

Open a window and drag the edges to fill the screen as much as you
want them to. *Without clicking on the 'Maximize' button, close the
window by clicking on the 'X' in the upper right corner.* The next
time you open a window it should have the dimensions you set.
'Maximize' fills the screen but it doesn't forget settings that were
manually made.

By the way, I think you asked it very clearly and succinctly. Good
luck.

Hi,
This won't open windows maximized or fullscreen but the windows should fill
the screen.

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, use one of these free programs...
AutoSizer 1.4- http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/
IE New Window Maximizer http://www.jiisoft.com/iemaximizer/index.htm

If you right click on the program shortcut icon, click properties, then in
the dropdown box next to Run select maximized. Click apply, click OK. Then
when you open the program by double clicking on that shortcut icon, it will
open maximized.

Thanks but it only works on some links/pages. Even my Home page is half
screen.

Thanks, it works for the primary page but any links on the page appear in a
1/2 box.

Close all but one (1) of these smaller IE windows. "Grab" the corners of the
remaining window with your cursor and "stretch" it to the desired size but
do NOT maximize it! Now close the resized window.

The resized window MUST be the last window closed in order for its size to
be remembered.

Or you can install IE New Window Maximizer and forget about it!
