How do I get my screen to display as a maximized window when I click on links and such? I've already gone to, IE Properties>Shortcut tab>Run:Maximized. What else is there??

IE sometimes opens and it is not maximized, because it depends how you closed the windows. In IE maximise the windows and go to File>Exit, now IE will open in max. untill you resize your window.
I dun use IE so I'm not sure if this works 100%,

i reda somewhere to hold control while u click the X in ie when ur closing a window and it will save how u had the window (ie. maximize it wfirst and it will save maximized).

It doesn't seem to affect when you do "open in new window"

Thanks but no thanks



right click the shortcut and go to properties then make sure window properties is set to maximized.

Did that a long time ago but my links still open in a small window. When I click the IE icon, my start page is maximized. It's every link that I click on while 'surfing' that's small.
