Tip of the Day!
Apr. 11th, 2006 12:59 pmI use IE at work sometimes. Sometimes Firefox, sometimes IE, depends on my level of irritability and the built-in media stuff I'm trying to run.
Today, using IE, got very frustrated (surprise!). All new links were opening in a teeny tiny window; I tried all tricks I could think of to get IE to reset itself, no luck. Went to google, found answer:

Ever notice sometimes you right-click on a link and open a new window and it's not full screen? This usually occurs because IE remembers the last window size when closed. Many times a background pop-up will do this too, if it is the last window closed. To resize the window and regain control:Two things I wouldn't have thought of, ever, were the "Do NOT click the Maximize button," and "CTRL Close"...Yay, web! Now browser is back under control. I think I'll go back to Firefox, tho. Why do I stray?
Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the window manually by dragging the sides to the desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you must do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
