View Full Version : Screen sizes
Bill Hawver
April 24th 03, 03:06 PM
When I bring up a web screen there are sometimes links to
click on. When I click on them, up comes another screen,
but only about half the size that it should be. How do I
get all screens to come up full-screen without going to
the upper right corner to click and bring up the full
screen.
I am forever having to click on each small screen to get
them up to full screen.
I have searched all over and can find nothing that will
help me.
Thanks for any suggestions!

When you get ready to close a screen,
Press the CTRL key while clicking the X in the top right.
This is known as a Hard Exit and should retain the screen size the next time
you open it.

Oppps...correction.
Try this...Start> All Programs right click Internet Explorer> Properties
under Run click Maximized.
Or, on the lower right corner, move your mouse till you get a double
arrow and left click and drag to the size you want.

Try this.. on your desktop right click the IE icon. What do you get? If
you see Properties, click it. Then beside Run you'll (probably) see
Minimized. Click the arrow and select Maximized.
