    IE 6 open in new window Q?

    Whenever I do a right mouse click on a list of sites and do a to open in new window, the window is 1/4 of the width of the screen. But when I do a left click on a list of sites it is normal and fills the screen. Where if anywhere do I go to set the new window so it comes up with a normal width and height.

    The only time I've had to split my screen is if I want to see 2 windows explore screens when copying files from one dir to another. Thx in advance.

    COPO--Not sure I understand the "list of sites" part, but if you want "Open in New Window" to give you a full size window, try the following.
    Open one of those New Windows. Now drag the new window to the size and shape you want. Close the original window. Then close the new window. (Some people say to hold down Control when you close the new window. I do not think that makes any difference but I guess cannot hurt.)
    I guess you have checked to see whether Tile Horizontally or Vertically (right click a blank spot on the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen) is not checked.

    ok, thx,
    what I meant about the list is after you type in your subject in the Address location you will get a list of hits.

    COPO--Ok, understood.
    Did you try what I suggested?
    P.S. My "list of sites" on the Address bar does not offer me "Open in a New Window" when I right click, but I do not think that makes any difference. My suggestion should work for any New Window, and then be applied to all New Windows you open after that.
