Windows 7 and IE8 problem
I bought a new Windows 7 computer from HP. Windows 7 comes with IE8.
Turns out that most people have a problem problem with IE8: Whenever you open a new website from a shortcut, the new window opens in the "normal size" (partial screen), instead of in the "maximized" size which fills the whole screen. (I am not talking about a "full" screen.) This is a real nuisance because it means you have to click on the "maximize" field in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Judging by the number of posts on this subject, this is a common problem. The bigger problem is that nobody has a solution. (Re-sizing the screen and closing it, does not work.) HP has not solution, either. Has anyone come across a solution to this pain? Anyone in this group who is afflicted with the same problem? Thanks Walter |

Thanks Walter Got this sol'n from technologu questions.com To get maximized windows from Desktop and QL shortcuts, create a few shortcuts to your browser on your Desktop, or Quick Launch bar, then edit the shortcuts: 1. Change the "Target:" to: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://lpga.com (as an example site.) 2. After adding the internet address, change the "Run:" pane to "Maximized". (That will make those shortcuts open IE maximized.) There's also software available that will switch opened windows to the maximized condition. Here's one: |

Yes, most people do, in fact this problem has been around since IE5 or so, nothing new. But i recon *most* people can't be bothered.
