Right click to open new window

[bobdylan]

I'm having a problem with IE6. It has only just started doing it recently and I'm not sure why. If I see a link and I want to open it in a new window I usually just right click on it and use 'Open in New Window', at the moment though the new window only opens up in half a screen and I have to click maximise to open it right up. I've checked all the Internet settings I can find and have even tried repairing the installation with no luck. Has anyone got any other ideas?

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.

Thanks but I've tried that already, the window opens OK if I just click on it, it's only when I RIGHT-CLICK that the problem occurs

Here are some other possibilities:

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);
==================================================

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\InternetExplorer\Main
Delete the value Window_Placement
Exit the Registry Editor

AutoSizer automatically resizes any window you specify. For instance, some web browsers open up in a non-maximized window. Using AutoSizer, you can set those windows to automatically maximize every time they’re opened. It works with almost any program, including web browsers, Notepad, etc. AutoSizer stays running in the System Tray (next to the time), so it stays out of your way while it works.

This effect can be caused by invalid DCOM security settings as well. Take a look at this link:
