Can you elaborate on your response? I can get full screen by clicking on the rectangle top right on my browser. When I shut down and restart I'm back to the half screen again.

Coryphaeus, I downloaded IE New Window Maximizer and it works great! I was tired of resizing every window I opened and Now I don't have to do this anymore.

Thanks a million for your help!

There are lots of tweaks and size, open another, resize, close the first, etc. But this little program does it all. You're welcome to any of the other software there also.
