I.E Opens in new window small ?

Can anyone tell me why, when surfing the net and the list of subjects comes up you click on one and it always opens in a small window and you have to enlarge it each time.
I note that this does not happen from favourites or bookmarks.
Is there any way I can get the pages to open full size 100%
The zoom level bottom right corner is 100%
Many thanks
P.S Its winXP and IE7

Open IE and go to a page with links. Open the link in a new window, which will be a small one.

Hover the cursor over a corner or edge of that smaller window until it turns into a double-headed arrow, then press and hold the left mouse buttona drag the sides and corners until you have it the size and placement you want.

Then go back and close the original window. This is an important step. You must close the original window first.

Then close the window you resized.

All future secondary windows should then open to that new size.
