Link That Opens a new browser

I'm using Internet Explorer 6.0

Whenever I click on a link that opens a new browser, the new browser window is very very small.

I want to change this so that when I click on the link, the new browser that opens is full screen size.

How can I do this?

Thanks for the help

Find a link that causes this behavior. Close all other browser windows leaving only the small one open. Resize the small one by dragging the edges to a reasonable size. Close the newly resized window & it should stay.
 
IE always remembers the last size of a window that was closed. (this does not apply to maximised windows)

So if you put an IE screen in windowed mode size it how you would like it and then close it (making sure all other IE windows are closed) any future IE windows (in windowed mode) will be this size.

This is a problem if the last window you close is a popup (small in size).. you always need to make sure that the last window you always close is the larger of the 2.

I dont think that there is a way to perma set the window size. Just be aware of the last window you close (only matters in windowed mode)...

..if the last window you closed was in full screen the new one will be in full screen also.. but if you ever hit a link that pulls up in windowed mode it will be that small size again.

I hope that wasnt too confusing... give a shout if you have more questions.
