If when you double-click your desktop shortcuts they come-up less than a full-size screen here is how we fixed it. All our shortcuts now come up as a full-size screen. This worked with our two Laptops WIN XP SP3 and WIN 7 SP1.
You will need a desktop shortcut that has a clickable link on it that you can click on and go to another web page after the first shortcut is on your screen. Here's how...
1. Open a webpage and stretch it out so it is a full-size screen. Do NOT use maximize.
2. Choose any link on this webpage, right-click on the link, BUT choose "open in a new window" from the menu that came up because you right-clicked the link.
3. Stretch this second webpage out so it, too, is a full-size screen. Do NOT use maximize.
4. Slide this second webpage down a tiny bit (don't re-size it, slide it down) so you can close the first page. Close the first webpage using EXIT.
5. Finally close the second webpage using EXIT. That's it.
We found that after doing this to one shortcut ALL of our desktop shortcuts, when double clicked, started to come-up as a full-sized screen.
