    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 :confused:

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