Here's what I've posted on this site several times before. Follow the instructions exactly and post back how it works.
1. Create a new shortcut to Internet Explorer (iexplorer.exe)
   on the desktop by right clicking on Desktop and selecting
   New | Shortcut.

2. Right click the shortcut, select Properties and change
   the Target to:
   "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -k

3. Run the new IE shortcut and get a full screen IE window.

4. Right click on some link on a web page and select "Open 
   in New Window" and you should get a 99% maximized window 
   instead of the usual small second window.

5. Close the new window and close the full screen window 
   by hitting Alt-F4.

6. Now try your usual Internet Explorer shortcut (that 
   doesn't have the -k switch) and you'll be able to 
   "Open in New Window" and still get a window that's 
   pretty close to being maximized.

7. Unless you want a full screen IE, delete the IE shortcut 
   containing the -k switch.

When ever I open a new window, it comes up about the size of a postage
stamp. How can I get it to open in a larger size or full screen.
