IE7 insists on Minimizing!

Despite my efforts to teach IE7 to open properly it insists at least once a
day to open minimized (I mean scrunched) in the left hand corner of the
screen. I drag it back open to cover most of the screen, rearrange the
toolbars (they get a bit messed up in the scrunch) and then a few hours
later it will start opening minimized again! I have several add-ons: 4 Java
add-ons...3 Google add ons and a few others. Could the add-ons be causing
this? I figure I need the Java, but what else could be causing this rather
major glitch?

Thanks,

Oreally

Hi,
Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.
Choose any link on that webpage and right-click> open in a new window.
Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use maximize.
Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.

To always get a true maximized window...

Hope this helps,

Yes. It's safe and effective on Windows 95, 98, ME, XP and Vista.

Did my recommended procedure not work?

Excuse Me!.........I have yet to try Don's suggestion, but it is my backup
solution if the problem develops again.
