More Annoyances: Cramped IE Windows

The Annoyance: Who decided that Internet Explorer's new browser windows should open to the same small size, even though I always maximize my browser windows before I close them? You'd think the program would remember and open the new window in the same state as the last one I closed.

The Fix: Scott Spanbauer comes to the rescue again. Here's his solution in a nutshell: When you want to open a link on a Web page in a new, full-size window, don't right-click it and choose 'Open in New Browser Window' ('Open Link...' in Windows 98). Instead, click your IE shortcut to open another full-size browser window, then go back to the first window and click the link. The page will open in the second window as big as life.
