Question Hi: I'm using Windows XP Professional. I prefer to have the text size of my Internet Explorer 6.0 pages set to "Smaller", however each time I reboot my computer, the default setting of "medium" kicks in. Is there a way to override this default so that I don't need to go in a manually set it at "smaller" each time?
One more question on a different topic (it's a basic Windows question, I think - hopefully you can help me): I'd like all of my windows to open to their maximized positions - right now, some do and some don't. Do you know if there's some way to set that? Thanks very much in advance.

Answer Hi David,
Some web sites use a specified font and size. Saying that, please check out what Microsoft offers at:
Many readers report problems with IE's window sizing. Like its cousin Windows Explorer, IE has a notoriously bad memory for certain things, window sizes among them. Here is a technique that often fixes the problem, though it's not guaranteed. First, close all open IE windows, then launch IE again. Right-click on any link and choose Open in New Window. Resize the resulting secondary window to the size you want for all secondary windows.
Now close the window by holding the Shift key and clicking the X icon in its top-right-hand corner. Set the remaining window to the size you want IE to have when initially launched, and close it in the same way. IE should now remember your preferred window sizes. If it forgets after a while, apply this simple fix again.
