Angry Fire IE6 annoyance

When I open a new IE window it does not open to the full screen. I hate constantly having to click the restore button to get the full window.

I'd like any new IE window to open to the full screen.

Can this be done?

TIA.

Colin.

Open a window and expand it to full screen. Next, open a second window and also expand it. Now close the first window your opened and finally close the 2nd one you opened. Now open a new IE window and it should open full screen. Make sure the last IE window you close in the future is closed from full screen size or you'll have to repeat this process.

When PR says "expand to full screen" he does not mean maximize it - stretch the normal window to the size of the full screen by dragging the sides of the window.
