I've been fighting with my computer.  I want it to automatically open a link as a maximized page but it/they (I use my work computer for sweeps also) refuse to cooperate.  I did a bit of digging around on the internet on the subject and came up with a nifty solution.

To have your windows page automatically start as maximized from a link do this:

Start a page such as SweepsAdvantage.com.
Open a link from that page (as a new window page).
With your mouse draw all four corners of the page to their respective outer edges.
Close the original SweepsAdvantage.com page.
Hold down the alt key and using your mouse click file and move down to the exit option and then release your mouse button.

Now if all has went well when you reopen the SweepsAdvantage.com page and click on a link it opens as page that covers the entire screen.

Another tidbit I just found out about.  On my work computer I have IE7 and Vista basic.  When I tried to launch multiple pages using Launch all Sweepspop IE7 would make one page and then block the rest of the links I had selected as being pop ups.  I turned off Pop-Up Blocker under Tools on the IE 7 toolbar and then I was able to open all the links I had selected.

Hey it worked all the pages open to a full screen. Thanks again. 

That is a nifty looking addon.  That put links in the background option looks promising.  I wish they had a option to enable it all the time instead of using the control key.
