Out of nowhere, my IE windows are opening smaller than full size... how do I tell my system to always open them fully maximized?<br /><br />Thank you.

Switch to firefox, that oughta shut it up. ;-)<br /><br />Actually mine did that when a pop up would open in the smaller size then it would think that all windows should. I would just maximize them with the button at the top right and eventually it would remember. There might be a setting in the options menu under tools.

You can click on the corner of the window and drag it out to a bigger size. Mine does that once in a while and thats what I do to fix it.

Try this. Open only 1 instance of IE. Select a link that opens up small like you said. Stretch it to where you want it. Now close the first instance of IE. While holding down the shift key, close the instance of IE that you just stretched by selecting File/Close (not the "X" in the upper right hand corner). You shouldn't have any IE open at this point. Now try it and see if it's fixed.

Dude, get firefox. IE has so many security holes in it you are an open window to a hacker.
