why not?Dabomb18359 said:Is there a thread here about Firefox? I did the google forum search to no avail but there are always people talking about it I don't want to start a thread about it.

Go to Start -> Programs -> right click on the shortcut to Internet Explorer -> select 'Properties' -> under the shortcut tab in properties, select from the 'Run' pulldown list, 'Maximized Window'.
This should solve the problem.

Thanks for your help!
I have already done the "fake" maximize technique. IE opens maximized but when it opens a new window its always minimized.ummmm........ said:The way cierdan just described didn't work for me.
But if you 'maximize' the window by dragging it to fill the screen instead of clicking the 'maximize' button, it works as described.
Tricky little computer thingy . . .![]()
Not much. I think you understand my question. I am just weird.ummmm........ said:Maybe I don't understand the problem then. What's the practical difference between a maximized window and a window that fills the whole screen?
Thats encouraging.cierdan said:Just keep trying variations of my method and you will get it to work. I know because I've gotten it to work. I can't say exactly what I did but after enough fiddling around it worked.
