Red face IE window size permanently less than full

Ever since I had cable internet access installed the IE (v6.0) opens to about half screen. I have not found any way to permanently change it to full screen.
Any ideas?

Hello, you can try and open ie and maximize the screen and then close IE

then try and open IE again and it should open full screen

good luck!

Smile That did it ..........

The secret is not to maximize the widow but to stretch it to full size by dragging. Thanks to all for the prompt help

You could go here and download IE New Window Maximizer. It works like a champ.
