How to remember window sizes and position

Does anyone know how to make Internet Explorer be always maximized when open a new window, click on a new link in a new window, etc.? Cause everytime I open a new link in a new window the window is always not maximized and its annoying to maximize it every time.

open the window, then stretch it to the size you want then close it by clicking File>Close. then when you openit again it will be maximized to that size.

Or, when a new window opens->close the first one->hold the Ctrl key and drag the window to the size you want.

Or, drag it to the size you want, then hold Shift and the close button.

I've used this little free program for almost 3 years now. Don't know what I'd do without it. ResizeIE

You might also try "Cure IE's Window-Size Amnesia"

Thanks for the links, WJWheels! - The PCmag tip, unfortuneately, doesn't work for me... Does ResizeIE work with XP??

Haven't tried it, but I use it (over 2 years) with Win2K Pro, so I assume it would.
