Opening Links Maximized with IE9

Ok guys, i've searched this topic for waaay longer than I should have, and still cannot find a solution other than installing third party software, which I really don't want to do, or think I should have to do.

I'm using IE9 with Windows 7 64bit, and i CANNOT get links to open in a full maximized screen. I've tried opening the link (which opens much smaller) and dragging it to a fullscreen size, then opening another link from that same page (which surprisingly opens to the same enlarged size as page #1) then closing page #1 first, then close page #2... this does nothing. As soon as I open another link, its back to its same originally small size. I've got both IE9 versions (64 & 32bit) properties set to open maxmized.

Just to claify, when I open the main shortcut on my desktop (actually I use the shortcut in my taskbar) that DOES open maximized, its EVERY OTHER LINK thats opened from within that page that opens to a smaller screen. I've installed a 3rd party page enlarger, and it works, but you can physically see the software work as when I open my link which still opens small - it automatically maximizes it, like the software is pressing the maximize button for me.... you would think that the BUILT IN program from MS would somehow do this more effectivly.

This is truly pissing me off now... its extremly annoying to constantly have to enlarge every link that gets opened. I'm looking for solutions to THIS problem please... telling me to switch to Firefox, or another browser DOES NOT solve my problem, so I request you keep those comments to yourself.

Thanks.
