From within Internet Explorer, open another page in a seperate window and
maximise it then close your original window and then the new one. Open
Internet Explorer and you should be done.

I'm guessing you are using Internet Explorer?

Might I suggest that you download and try Firefox as your web browser? It
doesn't suffer from this sort of behaviour, is faster, and arguably more
secure.

... and if that doesn't work, best consider sweeping ya machine out for
spyware. There is a common IE/Windows trick of scaling and moving
off-screen a small browser window that gets up to it's own mischief
while ye are doing other things. Unfortunately that window's scaling
settings are saved by the windows interface and accidently applied to
new browser windows.

Try to set up the window size in IE then close the window by using the file
Exit not the X That should work

Hmm. I had a similar problem in Windows 7 with the preview pane in
Explorer. Worked around it by opening it from a desktop shortcut or the
taskbar rather than directly from the Start menu, but it was definitely
a bug.

It might be the link you are using. create a new shortcut on your desktop
and see what happens.

Another thought is it narrow and up against the desktop side? If so press
and hold the win key and the arrow key that points away from the side its on
before closing the window.
