    I have done it by just draging the page full screen and then use the X in the corner to close it and it would hold the next time I opened it up. And I have done it this way on different PC's and it wouldn't work. Done it also by using File and Exit and sometime it would hold and sometimes not.
    Try this,

    Open IE, right click any link on a web page, select Open in a New Window.

    Go back to the first IE window you opened and close it.

    These are important,

    Return to the second window and manually drag it to fill the screen.

    Now press the Ctrl button, and close this second window, holding the Ctrl button depressed, using 'close' in the File menu.

    Sometimes a reboot after doing this will make it work.
