Shortcut Properties, no window size option

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

Shortcuts I have sent to my desktop from web sites have no option for window
size in their properties. Shortcuts to programs do have that option in their
properties. How can I make IE open Full Window from a desktop shortcut to a
web site? Thanks for any help!

Thank you! It was an aggravating little quirk. I just got a pc with WindowsXP
and am used to Win98. Never had this problem with 98. Seems like it
remembered last opened window size.
