browser windows open half way down page

IE opens in full page 98% of the time, but any other pages I open after that only come to just over half a page, needing to maximized each time to read. Is there a setting to make all web pages open in full view? Thanks for reading and in advance for any help offered. hedley

Found this: Having to keep resizing IE 8 web pages

Close all but one (1) IE window. "Grab" the corners of the remaining window with your cursor and "stretch" it to the desired size but do NOT maximize it! Now close the resized window.

The resized window MUST be the last window closed in order for its size to be remembered.

Or you can install IE New Window Maximizer and forget about it!

I've also heard that using File / Close after dragging the windows edges also fixes this.
