Okay, I know this is basic, so don’t yell. 
Anyway, I just quite AOl and am using explorer now to browse the web. When I open a link in a new window, it started to open it in a smaller size(the middle size of the three). I have to manually press maximize to increase it. This started about 2 days ago.
How can I get it to always open a new window in maximized size, which it was doing until 2 days ago. Thanks.

Gosh, I think this is the second time in 5 years of being on this board that I’ve bumped my own thread that had no posts.
Any help would be great! Thanks again.
Mahaloth, take a look at this article.
You’ve probably tried that, though. The way I fix this problem is deleting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window_Placement.
Back up your registry editor before doing anything there!
I don’t think you need the registry for this.
Just maximize the window by dragging it by the corners and top to the maximum screen filling, correctly postioned size. Then go to [File] at the top left and then [Close] (not the box at the top right. The screen will open to the right size the next time.
That’s what’s suggested in the link I provided.
Or you could just rewrite the software so that it saves its position and size to the Registry in response to a WM_CLOSE message, and then reads it back in when launched and uses these figures as arguments to CreateWindow().
