How do I set a new window to open bigger on my PC?
-
I have WIN 7 and use IE8. When I click on a link from say my school website or an email, the new window opens up really tiny. Sure I can maximize it, but how can I set it to just open up bigger. I don't know what I did, but the new window is like 4 X 4 when it's opened up. How can I reset this so it opens up bigger? Thanks :)

Answer:
This should be able to be done in two steps. First, type "Internet Explorer" into your start menu (without hitting enter), and when you see it in the list right click it and go to properties. From the shortcut tab, next to run, choose "Maximized." Save by selecting OK. Now, find a shortcut to a webpage on your computer (or make one by right clicking the desktop, choosing New>Shortcut and typing a URL as the target) and right click that. Choose open with, and instead of saying Internet Explorer, find that particlular IE shortcut, and open with that. Tell it to open this way every time by checking the box. That should do it. Also, the path to the shortcut should be %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\ Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet Explorer.lnk (Just copy and paste when you choose "Open with") EDIT: I may have misunderstood the issue. The steps I provided should make all new IE windows open maximized, but if you simply want it a different size than what it is now you should be able to accomplish this using the method provided by the previous poster. However it seems that you would have had to have done that already to be able to see the new window in the first place. So if it is not working, you may want to uninstall and reinstall the browser and see if that helps. Good luck.

Size IE8 to preferred size, X out of it, during its shutdown it will save its size. When you reopen IE8 it should be at the same size it was when you shut it down
