Windows 7 and IE8 problem

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

LOL.
That's a probelm, affliction, a pain?
I doubt many people want a link opening maximized.
An extra click ... My Kingdom for one less click!

So you don't like the way IE8 works - so don't use it. It's hardly the
only game in town.
