Hello Sam,

Here are three solutions to your question. I routinely use the last one
which has worked for me in all versions of IE with Windows 9x and XP.

1. There's a quick fix in the registry to make [Internet Explorer] always
maximized. Open REGEDIT and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \
Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main. In the right-hand pane, you'll find
the "Fullscreen" value. Double-click it to change the "no" to a "yes" (or
vice versa).

2. Click the Maximize button (it's the middle button of the three at the top
right of the screen), then click the Close button. IE will open up maximized
the next time you launch it.

3. After IE opens in the small window, right-click a URL and choose "Open In
New Window." Now go to the first window you opened and close it (don't
forget this step, or the tip won't work). Go back to the newly opened window
and drag it to the size you want, but DON'T use the Maximize button. Close
the browser window. From now on, when you open a new window, it should open
to this size.

Subject: Maximized IE Window

Hi All:

I have been fighting with this issue for a while and cannot figure it out.
I have setup shortcuts with maximized windows set and still not happening.
I think that there must be a registry entry/hack that I could do.  Tried
repairing IE and still did not help.  Could anyone suggest a possible fix?

Using IE 5.5 with Win 98SE and all patches including the 128 bit security.
