Window Size

[Derree]

So I'm not sure how it happened and its not even that big a deal but somehow I don't know if I changed a setting or what but when I open a new windo it is not maximized..right now they are close but not all the way and i have to click on the box to get it to go big...I thought I knew enough about computers but I have no idea how to get IE to open full...hope someone can help me!

derree, just right-click the shortcut, click 'properties', find the "run" box, and change it to "maximized". no fuss, no muss

[Derree]

hmmmmm well Anon I right clicked on the IE shortcut went into properties but did not find a run box anywhere.. Am I just blind?

[anonymez]

guess you right-clicked the IE icon on the desktop, its a little different, not really a shortcut. create a shortcut to that "official icon". right-click the new shortcut and do as stated above

Every time after you use the mouse cursor to vetically, horizontally, or diagonally resize a windows application, such as Internet Explorer, and then close it up without returning it to its normal size, the next time you open it again, itautomatically stays in the previous resized window. In order to fix it, don't maximize the window, just use the mouse cursor to resize or extend the application to vover the entire window, exit and start the application again and it will cover your entire screen after that

Yep, IE remembers it previous settings. What I do is open a window, maximize it, then close it. The next time I open it, its already maximized.

Feels like using the above program is easier. Atleast for lazy me.
