Force Internet Explorer to Maximiz Page

Solution: The default behavior for Internet Explorer is to open at the same size it was at the last time it was closed. While the default does apply in many cases it's not always consistent. Try the following workaround.

    * Open a single Internet Explorer window to the smaller size.
    * Drag the corners of the window until it completely fills the screen. Do not use the maximize button to enlarge the window.
    * Hold down the SHIFT key, keep it depressed, and using the mouse click File and then Exit on the menu bar. Do not use the "X" in the upper right corner to close the window.
    * Internet Explorer should now open in a full window.

Article Information

Problem: When Internet Explorer opens it can range in size anywhere from that of a postage stamp to almost filling the screen. Clicking the maximize button works for that particular window but the next time you open IE the same situation repeats.
