When I click on a link in Internet Explorer, the second window opens small.  How can I fix this?

You may find that Internet Explorer opens at a peculiar size—too small, too large, too narrow. When you open a link in a new window, that window's size may also be wrong.

To control the size of primary and secondary IE windows, start by closing all IE windows. Then launch IE, right-click on any link, and choose Open in New Window. Size the secondary window the way you want all such windows to be. Now close it by clicking on the X icon at the top-right corner while holding down the Shift key. Repeat this for the primary window that remains. You may have to repeat the process from time to time.
