Internet explorer windows maximised
8 Answers
How can I make new internet explorer windows open maximised? I have ticked the maximise option so that the first window always loads maximised, but all subsequent windows are not (e.g. if a link opens in a new window).

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'd click on the middle "restore" button on the first window that's open and rather than maximising it to make it the full screen size, move the window to the top left of your monitor and then drag & resize the bottom right of this window manually to make it as big as possible. I tend to find that any links opened from this window are this "restore" size, so I make it as big as possible.
Whatever button you click on to load I-Explorer to begin with, right click, choose properties and change "Normal" to "Maximised" and this first window will be maximised when you load it.
Are either of these 2 what you mean?
Hi, i too was sick of continually having to press maximise everytime i opened a new window. here's a nifty piece of software that makes it automatic: http://www.pcworlddownload.com/internet/browser-pl

Oh and that maximises it to full screen. if you want to adjust the size to something more you're liking like a normal maximised view, follow this link http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/archive/topi
c/8465-1.html What it says: Start IE, right click any link on a web page, and select Open in a New Window. Go back to the first IE window you opened and close it. Return to the second window and manually drag it to fill the screen. (Do not use the maximize button, for that's a temporary setting that will not be retained.) Now press the Ctrl button, and close this second window, holding the Ctrl button depressed, using 'close' in the File menu (important!). All windows should now open maximized.

Thanks for the further advice. I don't mean fully maximised, just the maximised you get when you click the middle top right button, as you guessed. My windows now open *almost* full screen after following that last tip but it still really bugs me that they are not the same as if you click that top middle button. Maybe there's no solution...
