Can't save window size, pls help.

Windows XP129
Hi,

I can't seem to save the window size any more. I've tried resizing, then

CTRL and close, but when I open a new window, it's not the size i saved.

Any help would be great- but please could you keep it simple for me :)



many thanks in advance

Gill

Got the same problem. My Desktop shortcuts and Quick Launch entries won't

hold settings I want. Even the Ctrl + Close using icon on title bar fails

here.

Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.

Choose any link on that webpage and right-click>open in a new window.

Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use maximize.

Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.
