How do I make it so that when I right-click on a link and choose to open it in a new window, it opens full screen? or at least nearly full-screen?

Right now they're opening too small, and it always changes around and I can't figure out why it does and how I can force it to open full-screen all the time.

Maybe upgrade your browser?

When was the last time you dumped your cache and cleared history?

Give it a good smack on the keyboard and yell.

very simple solution. Open the link in a new browser. resize to fot teh screen by dragging teh edges. Shut down teh pc while it is still open and boot back up. SOlved

Win2k was the last borg product I supported, so if you're runnin' newer than 2k, then disregard this post.

Up to 2k there was no way to have a new browser instance open at a different screen size than when it was last closed. Also, as an MDI, it will offset from its previous position, similar to multiple PSD files in photoshop, or the newer versions of office.

You can, however, double-click the titlebar to maximize then restore the current active window. Sorry if that is obvious.

I fixed it by deleting a registry key that controls the window size.

It still doesn't open to full-screen, seems the best I can hope for is like 99% of full-screen. hmmmm.....gay
