Today windows would open maximized when I clicked on an internet link or when I clicked on one of my Favorite links. Then all of a sudden the link or favorite would only open minimized. I tried a system restore because that usally works. It will, as you know, go back to your previous settings. As you also know, when you close a window that's open maximized it will re-open maximized. I tried opening a window, maximizing it and closing it maximized, but that, too, like system restore failed to rectify the problem

Is this a registry problem? Or is something else going on? In any case, what can I do to get this fixed?
