Hi! I have a problem in IE 5.5. When I right-click a link and select "open link in new window" command, new window is just a small one inch long strip - title bar. I must always maximize it manualy. Help anyone?
Thanks!

Many solutions to choose from. I don't recommend running 3rd party apps, but if that's the only way:
=================================
try double-clicking on the Titlebar.
================================
If you're running in 1024x768 screen area, type this into the browser window:
javascript:resizeTo(1024,768);
If you're running 800x600, type:
javascript:resizeTo(800,600);
================================
When the windows opens, drag the borders, top, right, bottom, and left to the size you want (almost filling the entire screen). DO NOT use the maximize button.
Now choose File>Close, DO NOT use the X in the top right corner. Go back to the page you just opened the new one from, choose View>Refresh and now click the link again, it should open to the size that you just closed it from.
===============================
Reset New Browser Window Size
Sometimes Internet Explorer 5 "decides" to remember the wrong size for a new window. Whatever you do, you can't seem to get it to remember a normal size.
Backup the registry and/or export the following keys:
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplo rer\Main
Delete the value Window_Placement
Exit the Registry Editor
