Everytime I open IE 8, the window is small and I have to enlarge it. Is there a way to make it open in full size whenever it starts and if so, how? Thanks in advance for your help!--Mark

This is Microsofts suggestion to fix the problem

* Resize (with only one window open) and then close by clicking the X in the upper right corner while holding down the Shift key. Often this works but it may not.
* If the above does not work, your next step is to try the two-window method.
1. Open a single IE window (which is presumably still too small)
2. Now open a secondary IE window by either right-clicking or shift-clicking
on any convenient link in the open IE window
3. Resize this second window to the desired dimensions
4. Close this resized window by clicking the X in the upper right corner while holding down the Shift key
5. Resize the still open original window as desired
6. Close this window by clicking the X in the upper right corner while holding down the Shift key

Let me know if this works if either one does

Hi, I appreciate your help, but neither approach worked. Any other suggestions, please? And again, thank you for trying to help me.

Open IE and go into preferences or options. Look through there to see if there is a option to open minimized.

On 2-6-12, I had been banging my head against a wall for hours with this problem. The two window approach fixed it. Thanks very much, rshaffer61.
