Browser window question ??

Post by STV »

When I open IE from desktop, it opens in full screen,no problem,but when I open web pages from favorites or short cuts they open in a 4in x4in window.

I know that when you close IE,it will open in the same window size from when you closed, but when closing from favortes link in full screen,then reopen,they come up 4x4 again.

Whats the fix for this ?


IE 5.5 on Win 98se

i don't know much about this but when i manually resize the window for a few times, the next time you restart windows it should go back to your manual resize

Before you click any links on the second popup just exapnd it to maximum size. Do that a couple times and you should be ok. Sure you could go into the registry and look around, but its not worth messing anything up if you dont know what your doing, lol.

Thnx for the help but I've just been doing that (about 30 times)

Whats strange,I can get IE to open maximized but no other short cuts from the quick launch bar ?

I think there is a program in the software forum that opens the IE up to max everytime. I am sure of it, go check it out.
