Default Small windows

IE 6 SP2. When clicking on an email link or a new link from a web page, I
often get a small resizable window. Is there a setting that I can change so
that I always default to a full screen window?

Alas, you can't get IE (any version AFAIK) to default to a maximized window.
What you *can* do, however, is stretch the "Normal" ("Restored") window to
fill your screen. You will then get the equivalent of a maximized window
*most of the time*, with the exception of popups whose size is specified by
the HTML/javascript/whatever.

Thanks and sorry I posted this in the wrong ng in error. I'm mad today. I
posted an IE question in the 'it' windows group and couldn't make out why
all the other posts were in Italian (and I was the only one in step...)
