A computer I use frequently at work has an annoying affliction. It used to be that, when opening a new window in IE6, the window would open full-size. Now, the new window opens small and I need to click on maximize to get it full-sized. Other people use this machine, so who knows what has been changed. Anybody know how I can return it to its former state? ---

Use your mouse to drag the corners out to full size, then right click on the corresponding task bar button and select ‘Close’, and IE will remember the window size. It won’t work if you hit ‘maximize’ or click the ‘x’ to close the window. ---
