    Ok... I know this was easy when I set up my old computer/browser, but for the life of me I can't find out how/where the settings are for when you want to open another window in full screen vs the smaller one you have to expand to view.

    Where is this simple setting that I need to find again and have wasted 2 hours looking/searching for.:confused:

    I'm back on IE6 (after trying IE7) but maybe it works the same way:

    Open a single window. In the upper right corner, click the middle button to size down the window. Adjust its size and position by dragging the edges. Close the browser.

    When you reopen, it will open in the "customized" size and position. In the upper right corner, click the middle button to maximize the window. Close the browser.

    When you reopen, it will open "maximized ". If you are at the WindowsBBS main page, shift-click a forum and it will open in a new window in the "customized size" but the position may vary depending on how many links you choose to shift-click to open in a new window.

    Also, if you click a link on a webpage, such as one of the links in my signature, it will open in a "customized" window.
