Right click the shortcut, properties, click the shortcut tab and in the Run

box, select Maximized.

With IE shortcuts, you can right-click, click Properties, set the "Run:"

pane to "Maximized".

 

For IE instances opened from links within email and web sites, open one

IE window, drag the edges till it's the preferred size, nearly

maximized, then close the window. Also try closing the window while

pressing the Ctrl key. Usually this will help Windows remember the

preferred size. It'll be changed occasionally, when a popup window is

opened with specific size, and you'll have to do this again. Another

suggestion:

 

- Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.

- Choose any link on that webpage and right-click, open in a new window.

- Stretch that second window out to the desired size; don't use

maximize. You can enter this line though:

javascript:moveTo(0,0);resizeTo(1024,768)

(or whatever your screen resolution)

- Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.

To get maximized windows from Desktop and QL shortcuts, create a few

shortcuts to your browser on your Desktop, or Quick Launch bar, then

edit the shortcuts:

 

1. Change the "Target:" to:

 

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://lpga.com

 

(as an example site.)

 

2. After adding the internet address, change the "Run:" pane to "Maximized".

 

(That will make those shortcuts open IE maximized.) There's also

software available that will switch opened windows to the maximized

condition. Here's one:

Hope this helps,
