New Windows

Hi there,

Yesterday my computer started acting a little strange. It does not appear to be serious but it is an annoyance that I hope can be fixed easily.

When I click on a link that opens a new site or page in a new window the new window itself is only about the size of a post-it note rather than a full screen as it used to be.

Is there a setting somewhere that I can change so my new windows open full size?

Thanks.

I figured it out.

However, I could not figure out how to delete the post so I added this reply instead.

If you'd like to post what the solution was, I'll leave it up for future seekers...other wise I'll delete it. Your call

I would definitely like to know. I ran into that before and I ended up reformating as part of my ritualistic bi-annual MS Windows house cleaning before I had a chance to fix it.

I happened on it by accident actually.

Rather than clicking the maximize button in the upper right, I manually resized the window all the way out and then exited the browser. When I reopened the browser it came up that way. It appears to work both ways. If I manually make the window smaller and exit, it will still be the size that I left it at when I come back in.

For some reason, however, it does not happen every time I try it.

Weird

I notice that I have an option to delete my post now too. Thanks to whoever set that up for me.
