Open a single Internet Explorer window to the smaller size.



Drag the corners of the window until it completely fills the screen.



Do not use the maximize button to enlarge the window.



Hold down the Ctrl key, keep it depressed, and using the mouse click File and then Exit on the menu bar.



Do not use the "X" in the upper right corner to close the window.



Internet Explorer should now open in a full window.



If it still opens to a smaller size repeat the above instructions, substituting the "Shift" key for the "Ctrl" key.

If you want Internet Explore to open full-size when you start it up, you must first start IE. Then maximize the window. Now click File, then Close. Now restart IE, and it should start up in a full-sized window. If half of the window is off the screen when you start a program, bring the window to the location you want and then click File and then Close, and it will re-open in this position the next time.



Changing the size of windows that appear when you click on an Internet link takes a few more steps.



Open Internet Explorer. Now open another instance of Internet Explorer so that you have two running at the same time. In the second one, right-click a link and select Open In New Window. If the new window does not start in full screen, simply resize the window by dragging the edges out to the sides of the screen. Do not use the max button.



Close the first window by selecting File, then Close. Now close the window you just made full size. But close it by holding down the Control key and selecting File, then Close. Do not release the Control key until the window is closed.



Now close the last Internet Explorer window. If you do this right, the settings will stick. You may or may not have to reboot, depending on your operating system

go to settings.

When you are on a window, go to preferences.

Get the setting you want and save/ok.



Try restarting.
