Unfortunately, none of these fixes usually work. Not even the registry hack Bob mentioned. Sometimes they *might*, more often then not they don't. The registry hacks usually revert back to their original states after a restart, and that dragging the window method still will not maximize the windows, it will just make them larger and if you check the "square" icon @upper right, it's still a square and not the double square which denotes it's still NOT maximized. You will still have a gap around the entire window and the window can be moved all around, again meaning it's not maximized.
This has been posted at this list numerous times, mostly by ME since I find it about the most annoying thing about IE. None of these "fixes" ever worked. The only thing I've found that works for EVERYONE, ALL of the time, is a piece of free software called "Autosizer". It takes a few seconds of "training" to get it right, but when you do you'll never have to worry about this again. Unfortunately it has to be running in the BG and will show up in a cont-alt-delete, but at least it's free and works. http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/ -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "BubblyBabs" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B." > I do have another question. > > Again, all of a sudden (why things happen "all of a sudden" I'll never know). > Internet Explorer keeps opening in less than maximum size.
