Most windows open in "half-size" mode. How can I fix?

Question

I have windows XP and am up to date with all downloads.

Answer 1

Sometimes when you right-click a link and select "open in new window", you get a cramped, half-sized pane. To see a full screen window every time, teach IE this trick: Shut down all instances of IE except one. Right click on any link and select "Open in New Window". Close the original browser window, and resize the remaining window manually by dragging each side as far as it will go. (Don't click the maximize button to do this). Hold down the CTRL key and click the X at the top right of the page to close IE. From now on, IE will open new windows in full size. Good luck.
