I had a new CD/DVD rom player installed in my computer today. Prior to that any web page I went to would open maximized.

Now When I go to IE main page first and then click on my favorites from there the web pages will open maximized. But if I go to my favorites list from my menu bar on my desktop bypassing IE then the pages won't open maximized.

The tech person at my ISP told me that if I opened a window maximized and closed it maximized that it would open again maximized the next time I opened it. But this doesn't work. Now, everytime I try to open a window that I closed maximized it opens in the middle setting between maximized and minimized. I am worried about this because my old computer did the same thing when I made an upgrade to it.

How can I get a window to open maximized when I close it maximized?

I went to Windows Help and tried to find a catergory that would explain how to do this, but I couldn't find any listing that seemed obvious and I don't know where else to look.

Please help?
