New window size

I did some serious clean up on my machine and it is running great. But alot of my settings got changed. My only question is when clicking on a link which opens a new window how do I control the size of that new window. Now it is really small. I like it to fill most of the screen. I am using Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP.
Thanks, Matt

Open up the window, expand the screen to the maximum by dragging the edges (it won't work if you hit the maximize button), hold down the shift key, close the window while holding down the shift key.

That won't fix it permanently but it will for a while.

Mairving,
I tried that and it did not work. Is there any thing else that might control the new window size?
Thanks,
Matt

once you resize it (not max) use the File/Close... that seems to work for me most of the time.
