Windows Sizes not remembered

[foscooter]

Didn't find this anywhere here, so here I go:

Windows 7 remembers most of my windows sizes (i.e. Excel, Quicken, iTunes, Outlook) but not Internet Explorer.

I keep having to "drag" it to the top, to get a full page height (I don't want width).

I've tried <Ctrl> close, <Alt> close, <Shift> close.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I do know how to "tweak" my registry. So edits will be fine.

Its old question, but try this.

See if Alt+F4 works for you.

Nikorr: looks interesting, but requires an app to run in the background, which I don't want to do. Thanks anyways for answering my 25 month old thread.

WR2: that close the tabs. I'll try it, and see if it remembers the size of IE.

I don't know why, but I don't have that problem.

I think WR2 meant, that u display your windows to the desired position and than close the programs that way (Alt+F4) and the system may remember that.

WR2: Didn't work.

But I'm over it.

It's been 2 years! Close the thread please.
