Windows won't maximize

Hi guys:

First post, and I hope I'm in the correct forum (couldn't find an "IE
forum"). If not, just let me know.

The only window that will max for me when I first open it is my IE ico
on the taskbar, which I set Run to 'maximized'.

However, when I click a link in, say, my favorites, or from the Deskto
or from the QL bar, the window opens half-size.

I've tried various approaches found in Google searches, such a
resizing the window, and clicking FILE > EXIT, while holding ctrl an
Alt, and Shift down, and all different variations of that, but there i
no correction.

I've also deleted the registry strings:

- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\window_placement




HKCU\Software\Microsoft\internetexplorer\Desktop\Explorer\desktop\oldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects


I CAN open a window, maximize it, and then open another link, and th
new link will appear in the SAME window maxed. I don't know how to se
IE to open in a new window, but that is another topic for another post.

Thanks for any help

Open such a smaller IE window (do NOT maximize it) | "Grab" the corners of
the window with your cursor & "stretch" it to full-screen (or desired) size
| Close all other IE windows | Close the one you just resized.

The resized window *must* be the last window closed for its size to be
remembered.

Or install the handy-dandy IE New Window Maximizer:
