Anyone know how to make IE shortcuts on the desktop ALWAYS open full screen? On our Win 95/98 all Netscape shortcuts open Full screen. IE doesn't. If you resize the shortcut and then open it again, it usually goes back to the original size. This is with IE 5 or higher. These PC's have additional desktop security on them, so if you try to maximize the screen you cant, unless you undo the security. So its a real pain. Any registry keys to add?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Not maximized, but close to it. Click on the link to open in a new window. grab the top, bottom, right, and left sides and drag them to almost fill the entire screen. DO NOT use the maximize button, DO NOT use the X to close the window out. Use File>Close. Now go back, click refresh on the menu, and click the link again to open in new window.. It should open to the size you just closed it from.
After a new window opens:
A few ways. If you're running 800x600, type:
javascript:resizeTo(800,600);
If 1024x768:
javascript:resizeTo(1024,768);

Right click on the shortcut, select properties. The bottom dialog box has a drop down button, use it and select maximized. Click OK.
