Internet Explorer new windows always same size as last closed window

This has never happened before, but when I open up new IE (6.0) windows it always opens up the same size as the last IE window that was closed. For example, I start a fresh IE window and go to a website that has a link that opens a 200x200 px popup window, but instead of opening up at 200x200 as it should, it opens up to the same size as the freshly opened IE window. This happens in the reverse case as well, where if I have a popup window open that is 200x200 (even if I manually resize it down to 200x200) and then close that popup and open a new IE window, it opens up at the smaller 200x200 dimmension. I can't find settings in IE to disable this. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Loaded any new windows updates lately? Run the normal Spybot and AdAware programs to search for spyware? I have sometimes experienced this but after scanning my system for everything and a couple of reboots it goes back to normal. Then again, I normally will also size an IE window to the size I want and then use File>Exit to keep it that size.

Try this:.

1. Open any Internet Link in new a new Internet Explorer Window and resize this new window to full screen, then before closing hold down the the Shift key and close the window.

You're supposed to hold down the CTRL key when you close a Window for it to remember.
