Opening Internet Explorer Windows

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I use IE 6 with all the latest updates on XP Pro with all the
latest updates (at work, policy is automatic updates)

Some time in the last 2-3 weeks IE stopped opening a new page
in an "almost" full sized window (such as when I right click
on a link and specify to open in a new window) and now opens
all new pages/windows in about a 1/4 screen window so I have
to click to maximize to be able to read

I have looked at every option I can find from the tool bar at
the top, and do not see anything I can set for this behavior

Is there something I have missed... is there a setting I may
change to make Internet Explorer open new pages "full" size?
