Opening Internet Explorer Full Size
Ever notice sometimes you right-click on a link and open a new window and it's not full screen? This usually occurs because IE remembers the last window size when closed. Many times a background pop-up will do this too, if it is the last window closed. To resize the window and regain control:
* Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
* Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
* Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
* Resize the window manually by dragging the sides to the desired size. Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you must do it manually.
* Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right) [Exception] In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the Registry. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Window_Placement"= To reset the "Window_Placement" entry to default.
You can download a small reg file to reset (to default) and correct this behavior.
Download:
ResetWindowPlacement.reg [right-click and select: "Save Target As"] To use: right-click and select: Merge - Ok the prompt and reboot.
* When all else fails, paste the below line into Start / Run /javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight) Note: then make sure the above window is the last one closed.
