Easy fix help please

Ok, my kids somehow changed how a new window opens. It's a skinny little window. I want to switch it back to the "standard" way a new window opens. Medium sized, ya' know? Help!

Put the curser on one of the sides and drag the window to the size you want :shrug:

do you close the window one you resize it?

exactly

open the window to the size you want Camily and then click the "x" to close the window. It should save and then next time you open the program it will open the window correctly.

If I'm done with it. I have Vista and it has tabs if I am using multiple windows. This is only for clucking a link etc. The small window is driving me nuts!

That's what I thought too but it's not working.

Open IE as usual
Right-click a link and open it in a new window
Close the original window
Move the new window's upper-left corner so it's flush with the upper-left of the screen.
Drag the bottom-right corner to the bottom-right of the screen (or to the taskbar).
You've pretty much maximized it. Don't actually click maximize.
Close it.

Repeat steps to verify it worked. I tried it on mine, worked no problem :shrug:
