>Unfortunately not being a IE guru, I cannot tell you how to do this. But I can tell you absolutely that it is possible. My IE happens to be set to do exactly what you want. Press cntrl-n and the new copy is the same size as the old. It is probably a setting buried somewhere in the menus. < SARCASM > After all IE is famous for its intuitive menu structure.< /SARCASM >.

Same-size would be marginally better than what I have now. I've looked through my menu options, but I don't see anything like that anywhere.

There's probably a whole slew of IE registry keys, one or more of which control the behaviour of new/child windows.

I'm running 1024x768, and I find that most sites aren't that wide, but I can still use all the window height I can get. So, that's why I'd like to "cascade" with same-height but slightly narrower windows, each child offset slightly to the right of its "parent".
