i have posted this before and could not get resolved so i just downloaded a maximizer to make my pages open full but would like to get the correct fix. i have tried all the suggestions from here and on google(drag corners opne new pages and close down in certain order i have internet explorer set to open maximized nothing seems to work). if i type an url it opens fine but if i use a shortcut to any website they open half if i use quicklaunch they open half, followed advice from microsoft to reset ie nothing changes

i know this is a windows 7 problem because i dual boot with vista and they work fine there, i use ie9 on vista so i downloaded 9 on my 7 and still the same problems, microsoft had me right click all icons and change the target destination on each one still same thing then they told me to reinstall 7 which i dont want to do searching google , microsoft and bing tell me a lot of folks have this problem, surely there is a fix for this
