If it’s the “remember last window size”, (Window Placement) that you are trying to resolve
Assuming you tried the above method & it didn’t resolve the problem, then try the following:
(A) After launching IE6, resize your Home page (make sure it’s the only web page open) steps 4 & 5
If that doesn’t work
(B) Similar to above but with an alternative method in Step 2
1. With only one web page open (the one with a hyperlink that you are going to select)
2. Right-click on the hyperlink & select "Open in New Window"
Leave that web page you have just opened (in a new window)
3. Close the first web page using the normal upper RHS [X] Close button
The web page opened in new window should be the only one present in IE6
4. Using only drag handles &/or boundary lines, resize the web page window to full screen size
I.e. DO NOT click on the upper RHS Maximise button
5. Once done hold down the Ctrl key & click the upper RHS [X] Close button
This will close that resized web page & your IE6 browser
If none of these methods work then it looks like the registry data value for Window_Placement is corrupt?
Registry path is HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Note the FullScreen function (F11 key) is in same registry path but a different entry

Longback,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
Here are some ways to make IE open up in full screen.
Right click on the Internet Explorer toolbar and select the Customize option.
Then Under the Available Toolbar Buttons select by clicking Full Screen ->click->Add->click->close.
After doing this close the window. Next time you use Internet Explorer it will start the session in a Full Screen mode.
Longback

Thank you for the reply. After going through the steps to make it full screen mode, I close the window with the X in upper right corner and using the file--close method. Next opening it is back to the smaller window.

It’s your call but you should be using IE7 or even better IE8, anyway for IE6
If you mean when opening web pages from hyperlinks they don’t appear in full screen size
(I’m NOT referring to IE browser Full Screen View, using the F11 key)
If correct then try this for IE6 (also works in IE8, I’ve just tried it twice)
1. Launch your IE6 browser (assume it opens your Home web page in full screen size?)
If it does then in your Home page look for any hyperlink or initiate say a Google search to obtain a web page of hyperlinks
2. Click on any hyperlink, if it doesn’t open in full screen size, just leave it that way
3. Now close ALL other web pages using the normal upper RHS [X] (Close button)
(The page that didn’t open in full size should be the only web page still standing in IE6)
4. Now only use manual drag handles or boundary lines to resize the web window to full screen size
5. Once done Press & hold down the Ctrl key & click the upper RHS [X] Close button
This will close that resized web page & your IE6 browser
Next time you launch IE6, web pages opened from hyperlinks should open in full screen size

Thank you for replying. That is the problem, when I open any web page including launching IE6 and getting my home page they are not full screen. I can make them full by F11 or maximize button next to red X. Is there a way to just have them open full? Thank you
