        derree, just right-click the shortcut, click 'properties', find the "run" box, and change it to "maximized". no fuss, no muss

            guess you right-clicked the IE icon on the desktop, its a little different, not really a shortcut. create a shortcut to that "official icon". right-click the new shortcut and do as stated above

              Every time after you use the mouse cursor to vetically, horizontally, or diagonally resize a windows application, such as Internet Explorer, and then close it up without returning it to its normal size, the next time you open it again, itautomatically stays in the previous resized window. In order to fix it, don't maximize the window, just use the mouse cursor to resize or extend the application to vover the entire window, exit and start the application again and it will cover your entire screen after that

              Regards

                Yep, IE remembers it previous settings. What I do is open a window, maximize it, then close it. The next time I open it, its already maximized.
