    IE 8 starts in a vary small screen with about 1/4 across my monitor's screen every time I click on a hyperlink &
    I have to click up on the top right to always expand it.

    How Do I set it up to keep it at the normal size to fit my screen
    with to keep from manually having to click to resize it.

    Expand the IE window to the size you wish by stretching the top, bottom and sides. Do not use the icons at the top right. When you have it to the size you want, hold down the shift key while clicking the red x to close the browser window. The next time IE opens it will be the same size it was when you closed it.

    THANK YOU! I just ran into that today on a win7 machine and I started to doubt my sanity. I thought it's not possible that I have to look help, AGAIN, just to keep a screen size.
