Turns into crap chat if you dudes continue your childish behaviour.

So lets give Mr Walter E a solution:

- Close all IE windows.
- Rightclick on the IE icon and select Properties.
- On the Shortcut tab you see Run: (about halfway)
- Set this to Maximized.
- Click "Apply" and close.


Have fun...:-)


I've had the same problem since I got my new Acer a few days ago. I
tried your solution above and even with a reboot, I get a small window
with any link I clink from my main window. The main window always
opened up maximized, but all links open 1/4 size in a new window.

I bought a new Windows 7 computer from HP. Windows 7 comes with IE8.

Turns out that most people have a problem problem with IE8: Whenever
you
open a new website from a shortcut, the new window opens in the
"normal
size" (partial screen), instead of in the "maximized" size which
fills
the whole screen. (I am not talking about a "full" screen.)

This is a real nuisance because it means you have to click on the
"maximize" field in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Judging
by the number of posts on this subject, this is a common problem. The
bigger problem is that nobody has a solution. (Re-sizing the screen
and
closing it, does not work.) HP has not solution, either.

Has anyone come across a solution to this pain? Anyone in this group
who
is afflicted with the same problem?

Thanks

Walter

Here's a more drastic solution but one that WILL work on every setup.

Download this tiny little program called IEMaximizer.
When installed, it will run in the background and opens every IE screen
at max settings.
I used this under XP and just installed it under Win7, it still works
prefectly.
Just run it as adminitrator, no need for compatibility mode.
It will set itself to autorun on startup (you can disable that).
