Explorer window sizing

[Bryan1]

When I click on a link that opens a new IE window, the window is never opened to full size. In fact they have somehow become super small. Does anyone know how to set the size of the newly opened windows?

This is nothing major, just one of those little annoying things.

Thanks

Windows Explorer window size just like Internet Explorer size can be set by stretching the open window to as full a screen as desired.

Hover your mouse near the perimiters of the window >> right click >> hold and drag (extend) window to desired size.

Close this window.

From now on when you open it will be to the stretched size by default.

...or you can double click on the title bar when the new window opens...

That is only a bandaid solution. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/tongue.gif
It works, but needs to be done each time a new window opens.

Doing what sea69 said, problem solved.

Does anyone know how to make it so instead of it just being bigger but not maximized, it is actually maximized?

only way I know of to do that is to maximize the window and then close it.

The next time it opens it should remember to open fully maximized as it was when you last closed it.

This only usually works for the current windows session and you will have to do it again upon re-boot.

One thing you can try is hold down the Shift key at the same time you click on the X to close the window. This helps Windas to remember the size of the window for the next time it opens.
