How to make a new link window open fullsize

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

I use a laptop and when I'm on a site that has a link to click on the
new window opens small. I can click the enlarge box @ top right but I'b
prefer the new window to open fullsize. Any suggestions?

Thanks Don. I downloaded the autosizer from Computer Geeks and it
works fine. I can't figure out how to stretch the windows using the
touchpad. When I center the arrows over the window border and then try
and stretch it, nothing happens. I'm not very computer savvy and
generally use a desktop with a regular mouse and with that I stretch a
window and it stays maximized until I have to reboot. The auto
maximizer seems to have a little lag and may slow things down some but
it's better than the nuisance of having to maximize every screen.
Thanks for the tip. Dave Roy

AutoSizer should only cause each IE window to open a tiny bit slower. I
guess it would be noticeable.

To "stretch" a window, you would hold down one of the buttons adjacent to
the touchpad while dragging.

Or... buy a USB, optical mouse, unless you really do always use this
computer on your lap.
