Hi everyone,

I am using IE6 and when I click a link to open in a new window by holding down the shift key while clicking, the new windows open as the same size as my main IE6 window. I was wondering if there is any way to make all the windows opened in a new window smaller than the main IE6 window? The perfect fix would to have them open minimized in the task bar. I would appriciate any ideas.

Thank you,

Jake

Not sure this will work but worth having a go!

After you open the new window, close the original (and any other IE windows except the new one). Click the Minimize button, then close that window. Now reload IE and try opening a new window

If that doesn't work, after you open the new window, close the original (and any other IE windows except the new one). Resize the new window (drag the edges) to the smallest possible size then close that window. Now reload IE and try opening a new window

If this works, then thanks are due to someone else, I'll name him if it works, not fair if it doesn't

Actually, it is the venerable Vernon Frazee who deserves the credit, just used his method for opening a new maximized window in reverse :o
