Hi, this is gonna sound really stupid and simple. But whenever i load up a new internet explorer, it loads up in a small windows and not a full screen window, how do i make it a default setting to open up over the full screen???!!! Silly, i know. But its sooo annoying!!

jasw, Follow the instructions below exactly and your problem should be solved.
Right click the shortcut icon for IE next to the Start button, choose Properties, change it from 'normal' to 'maximized'. Now open it.
Now right click any link on the page, choose Open In New Window....don't maximize it....instead, use the mouse to resize it to what you want it to be.
Now close the FIRST window you opened, and then close the new one you just resized.

Reopen IE from the shortcut icon again, and all windows from now on will be the size you chose and created.

I have found it will open the same way you closed it. So open it up. Maximize window. Then close it. It will open back up this same way.
