Web page shortcuts on desktop

For the last few days whenever I open my desktop internet shortcuts they dont open maximised, I have searched everywhere in Internet Explorer for a setting that would change this, but cant find it, can anyone help?

Right-click on the link, click "Create Shortcut".

Right-click on the newly created shortcut, and enter the Properties tab. Change the application to run maximised.

Rename shortcuts as required.

Re-read what I wrote. You need to create a shortcut to IE from the 'desktop' shortcut before you can assign the maximise property.

Long-winded, but it works.

I never had to do that before...........whats strange is that they always ran maximised up untill a few days ago?
