Opening new windows

[Bonnie Key]

How do you get new windows to fully open. For some reason new windows started opening up only about 4" wide. The length is the full size of the monitor but width is driving me crazy. I have to click on the maximize button to open all the way. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi:

Try opening the failing window, maximizing it and then close it using ALT/F4. See if it opens maximized after doing that.

Nope didn't work. Tried it a few times w/different links.

Bonnie:

Try this workaround (the article says it's for IE5 but it works for IE6, as well):

This makes the window "full screen". What I want is to just have the window fully open to normal size when I click on a link.

Hi Bonnie:

Are you running IE6, SP1? What version of Windows?

Thanks.

Roger

IE6

Bonnie:

If you haven't installed IE6 SP1, please get it from www.windowsupdate.com or http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp

Got it, installed it, still no change. Windows still open up as stated before.

I'm sorry I don't have the answer for you. Hopefully, someone else will chime in here.

Sorry.

My friend,

if this is a WinXP, then perform a Restore Point!

good luck

Size the Window the way you want it, then hold down the Ctrl key while you click on the X to close the window.

No help either. I clicked on a link for a new window to open. (It only opened about 4" wide). Had to maximize for it to fully open. Held the ctl key while clicking on X. Links still only opening about 4" wide. All I want is for the windows to fully open to fit the monitor screen. This is driving me Nuts! Never had this problem before. Don't know how to correct it.

Bonnie -
not sure if you're still having this problem - - the same thing recently happened to me - - somehow i right clicked on my toolbar and selected minimize all windows - so when i finally figured this out, i simply right clicked again on the toolbar and clicked undo minimize all windows - - it might be that simple for you as well.

That works when I want to close all windows...but my problem is when I clink a link to open a new window, it does not open all the way. It opens to a small box and then I have to maximize it. Drives me nuts. I know there has to be a way to set your system to open and link to full size. None just has the answer yet.

Thank
Bonnie

Try right clicking on the offending icon and select Properties. On the Shortcut tab, find the selection labelled RUN and set it to Maximized.

Not sure what you mean by "offending icon"

Bonnie

[Roger Faucher]

I just meant any icon that, when you click it, opens in a small window.

Hi Bonny
What you Want is to Have Each Window at Max Size is This Right ?
If So What you Want to do is Open the Window as you Normaly do and Take you Mouse Pointer and Grab the Edge of the Window and Pull it down To the Edge of the Screen and Do the Same on the Upper Edge Pulling it Up to the Edge of the Screen Then Close the Window Down and Reopen it and the Window Should be maximized . This Should solve your Problem.
