IE8 - How to Save the Window Size

Internet Explorer has had this really annoying problem on NOT saving the its window size for a long time and it's incredible that Microsoft has not fixed it yet.

To "fix" this problem (same as in IE 7 and IE6):

1. Close all Internet Explorer windows except for one.


2. Right-click on any link in the page and select "Open in New Window."


3. Close the first browser window using the [X] in the upper right corner in the title bar.


4. Resize the window manually by dragging the sides to fill the screen.
   
   Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you have to do it manually.


5. Hold the [Ctrl] key and click the [X] in the upper right corner in the title bar.

I've verified this works.
