this has been bugging the hell outta me ever since i started using internet explorer. how do i get it so save window positions? the first IE window is always full screen, but the ones after are too damn small to read anything. i have to keep stretching out the windows, is there ANY way to save the damn positions?

Internet Explorer 5.5 seems to automatically "learn" Window positions. I heard once that you can hold down shift as you stretch the window, and this will make it remember the size. Not sure if that actually works, as I haven't needed to try it.

i've found that if yu re-size the window and then close the window using the file/close exit menu.

i think if you press the control key while you close a window, it will remember the position.

I've done it by repeatedly openening-stretching -and closeing. Eventually it figures it out.

Do this.

After a smalller window opens close the full size window then right click your time is the system tray and select the tile windows option (doesnt matter which one) the window will automatically go to full screena nd be remeberd te next time you open a window. (make sure you only have one window open when you tile or the sizew will be divided by the amount of open windows.
