internet-explorer-8shortcutswindows-vista
I have a shortcut (url). When I double click on the shortcut, Internet Explorer opens the link in a really small window. Each time the window must be resized !
How is it possible to setup Internet Explorer to open the URL in a maximized window?
I already try the solution to delete the registry entry HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main but the new window is not maximized.
If you select Tools > Internet Options > General > Tabs > Settings you get the following dialog:
Try setting the radio button to the "A new window" option.
As stated by Garrett in comments of this question, the only solution I see is as follows:
SET Version=XP
VER | FINDSTR /IL "6.1." > NUL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 SET Version=7
IF %Version% EQU 7 (
del "%PUBLIC%\Desktop\MyShortcut.lnk"
)
IF %Version% EQU XP (
del "%allusersprofile%\Desktop\MyShortcut.lnk"
)
One might note that according to this StackOverflow question, and a blog post by Raymond Chen, a dir of %allusersprofile%\Desktop\<directory> should give the proper results on both XP and 7, however in my experience it does not.

lornix is right.
In the properties window you will see "Run" option with a drop-down, by default its set to "Normal Window". Change that to "Maximized". This should solve the issue.
If it doesn't works then -You might be trying to Run a web application with pre-defined window dimensions.(as mentioned by tumchaaditya).
