I have a shortcut that opens a url, but I would like it to open the browser maximized. Is there code I could include on the start page or add to the url address to make ie open maximized from the shortcut?
Thanks!

Instead of creating an internet shortcut create a shortcut to iexplore.exe with a parameter to be passed to it that corresponds to the url. This way you will have the option on the shortcut of opening in a maximized window.
For example, a shortcut target might look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.winguides.com/forums
(If your browser truncates this: it is all one line with a space between iexplore.exe" and http://)
