Problem with Microsoft IE7:

From some time I had an itchy problem with IE7. The problem is the same i guess with IE6 and no mather on which OS it runs. Some days ago I had opened a dozen of IE windows. They grouped and when I rightclicked the group I chose the "Show windows stacked" or something like that. I'm running Vista btw, although this is not important in that case. So the windows rearranged to fit in my display space. After that I realised the shit I've made. After that everytime I was opening link in new window it opened in small window. The problem is that IE remembers the size of the last closed window. I guessed that I would find and option that says something like:
"Open new windows :" and a dropdown with some options like - normal, windowed, full screen, but I didn't. Then I explored the registry and I guess I found something here (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Document Windows) but I was frustrated of the idea to do this every time I needed.

Then I found this which worked for me.

The idea is that you should open IE window and maximize it manually (without using the maximize button). Then right click on a link and choose "Open link in new window". Do the same maximizing procedure with the second window. Then close the first one and after that the second one.

This will keep the two sizes as you've made them.

Frankly said I'm a keen Microsoft technologies user and I like MS very much, but this sux. I hope MS will put more options for the next release of IE or some patches.
I hate that even with this workaround I still have to click the maximize button on new windows, cause I like my browser maximized. And when I manually stretch the window it is still not maximized. This is ridiculous.
