Serious computer question for Windows XP home

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Serious computer question for Windows XP home

Posted: 12/21/2005 8:02:01 PM EDT

When I click on something that automatically opens a new window the new window is always minimized and I cannot for the life of me remember how or where to "set" Internet Explorer to open the new windows in full screen mode.

Can anybody help?

Isn't this just a setting that can be changed somewhere?

Close all instances of IE. Now, launch one copy, and resize and move the window to taste. Once you are happy with it, close it by clicking the X at the top right corner.

Now, launch IE again. It should launch with the new size & position.

Now go download FireFox or Opera, Install and enjoy.

Go to the command prompt and type "format c: /u" and reboot, and the problem will be replaced with something that's actually worth complaining about.

When mine does that I have to manually resize the window then it will open full-sized.
