    Open the window, maximize it, then close it. See if that does the trick. Usually does for me with Chrome.
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    But IE is weird and won't do that.

    create a new shortcut for ie, and in the properties set the window state to maximised

    That will work, unless he's talking about new windows that open from an existing one.

    Are you talking about "kiosk mode" size, press F11 will put it into "kiosk mode" full screen. It also works with Firefox.

    Ah I see now. IE will remember if your state for one window, opening and closing it, but right clicking "open new window" will not be full screen. Why not just use tabs? (heck, why are you even using IE?)

    Hi I made shortcuts to all my favorite websites and saved them all on my desktop as shortcut icons, then used iconx to make them bigger etc. If i click one of the icons to say Google...it opens up internet explorer but its only a small window and you have to click maximumize to get it to fill the full screen?
    I made another shortcut icon and could not find the where in the properties you can change the window size to maximum ?

    It will say Run: and then, next to that, there's a drop down box. I had to look it over for a while to find that.
