How do you make all new windows open maximized?

[ggareis]

Hey guys, need a little help here. I was wondering how you make all windows you open up maximized. Every time I open a window it opens up small and off the side of the screen. I know there is a way too do this but I cant remember how. By the way im running Windows Xp.

maximize the window,go to tools-folder options,uncheck "remember each folder view settings" and click "apply to all windows",or something like this.

Thanx man that worked! Now is there also a way to get internet explore to open up new windows maximized as when you click on a link from another webpage?

you're welcome

no,that's not possible by IE itself.people say it's lame,but it's very logical to me.IE remembers the last window size and position.if it would always maximize every window,pop-ups would became maximized.i don't mean only advert popus.there are a lot of webpages which load a new IE window which shouln't be maximized.

anyway you can still use IE New Window Maximizer,which works fine.

but i recommend to do this:

CLOSE ALL IE windows.

open up IE.don'timize it.now drag the edges all over the screen,as far as you can,window can be also out of the screen,so you dont see the edges or they're cropped out.now press alt+f4 (close).

open up IE again,and all new IE windows are now sized to maximum viewable space on your desktop.

Hold CTRL+ALT+SHIFT when you maximize the window hence IE, then....as you hold these keys click close or hit the X.make sure that all windows are maximized when you do this.
