Hi Guys, a very annoying thing has just started to happen. When I open a new
explorer window, it now appears just as a tiny bar at the top of my screen. I
then have to drag it into position, and then maximise it. Any one know how I
change this, how I can specify how new windows open? Its driving me nuts!

The tiny bar is a small window.
Try stretching the small window to full size. (Do not use Maximize)
Ensure that window is the last one closed and IE should remember the
size next time.

ALAN - thanks for this advcie - I've spent a week getting irritated about the
new window opening small from the Google toolbar and following ineffective
advice from Ms site and G site to "maximise it"... "Stretch it" is the key
action. thanks - this was a very useful post indeed
