Solved Problem with small browser windows.

I'm running Vista Home Premium, and every time I click a shortcut link, a small page opens. I then have to expand the page via the middle button in the top RH corner of the screen. Is there a way to overcome this dual action ?

ZZ, I have now entered details of my system specs, as requested.
My original post was misleading in as much as it isn't every shortcut link that opens in a small window. These shortcuts are invariably linked to websites.
As you suggest, all I want is for the shortcuts to open maximised.

rcsetup was just an example Ken was giving you. Find the program you want to open maximized. Right click on that executable. Find the shortcut tab. Select to open maximized.

Sorry folks, but I'm back again.
Whilst I can maximize individual shortcuts, is there a way to maximize all shortcuts
and links in 1 fell swoop ? ie via the Tools menu for instance.

When one of your sites opens and is too small, try manually placing your cursor on each edge of the page, and dragging that edge out to the edge of the screen --- thereby manually maximizing the page. (Do NOT use the 'maximum size' button in the upper toolbar.) Then reboot. You may have to do this a few times, but Vista should remember the new page size after one or two reboots, and open all pages to that size every time.
