Anyone else annoyed by ie5's insistence on opening pages in a new window really small. Well it has been driving me insane for ages, and I've never been able to find a fix - that is until my lack of sleep studying for exams delirium made me wonder where the template is and I found it. here goes: 1. open ie and from any page right-click and select 'create shortcut' - place it on your desktop. 2. close ie, then double-click the shortcut on your desktop and a small window should open. 3. maximise this manually(bottom right corner) then hold down shift and close it. 4. double click it to make sure it open up as you left it (maximised) - don't proceed until this is right. 5. right click on the new shortcut and select copy - paste it to c:\windows\web. 6. go to this folder and rename the file frm2new.htm to frm2newold.htm. 7. locate the file you previously copied there and rename it frm2new.htm 8 that's it - done

I would not believe that this would work because I did not have any files within C:\Windows\Web with the name frm2new.htm but I created one as you instructed and it works like a charm. How the hell you figured that one out is beyond me. Way to go! Thanks, Bryan

Bryan Glad you're happy. I actually stuffed up the instructions a bit - you must be 1 step ahead. You have to manually maximise the new window you have opened before you get it to make the shortcut.
