Re: Maximizing IE to full screen

[Bruce]

Do not use the maximize button. Grab the corners of the window and drag it
to full screen size. Close the program using the red X button and when you
open it, Windows will remember the last screen size used.

I was searching for an answer and I found this post and followed the
instruction to maximize my window. I changed it from normal window to
maximize and it did nothing to change it. My Mozilla browser open to full
screen but I can't get IE to open to full screen.....do I need to reboot in
order for this to take effect? Thanks, Kathy----- Norm wrote: -----

Just use your mouse and stretch the window to full size (do not use the
maximize button)and then click on File and then Close. This works for
OE,
IE, Windows Explorer and some programs.
While the window will not truly be maximized only the same size as a
maximized one. To truly maximize, right click the shortcut, click
properties and change the setting in the Run: window from normal window
to
maximize.

If you are having difficulty using the "stretch" method to get a maximized window the try this. Right click on your IE desktop Icon and then click properties and then the "shortcut" tab. Then look at the "Run:" line. To the right of that line is an arrow(d
rop down list) click that arrow and the list will open. In that list is a "Maximized" option. Choose that. Now every time IE opens it will be maximized for you. Good luck.
