Quick computer question

[Romial]

When you open up a new IE window by clicking on a link, does anyone know how to have it get maximized right away? Right now it's this tiny little spec that I have to go down to the start button and right cick maximize that way and it's getting quite annoying and would like to have it maximized by itself. So...anyone know how to do it?

At least with IE 6 on my comp, it'll open up to the size of the last one i X'ed out.

If i X out one on full size, they'll open at full size. If i X it out on half size, then it'll open at half size.

Hope that helps.

You need to go to each edge of that small screen until you get the resizing arrow and then drag each side to the edge of the screen

Do that for all 4 sides then close IE, reopen it and it should have remembered your screen size setting

Wow, Hanns. You said something useful...

I am so PROUD of you....it's like you are growing up before our very eyes...sniff.

If you want to quick maximize any window that is not minimized or maximized (but somewhere in between), just double click on the window's title bar and that will make it maximize to full screen. Double clicking on it again will make it go back to it's previous size and position.

Alternatively, you can get Crazy Browser which uses the IE rendering engine, but provides popup filters and tabbed browsing windows. The tabbed browser windows are a lot more convenient than opening a new IE window for every link.

I have the same problem and it's already driven me beyond crazy. There must be some way to set the IE settings so that it will open a full size window when i open a link in a new window. Please, someone tell me how.

Another alternative that will max out the window to the fill screen size is to create a new favourite with this little bit of ********** as the URL:

**********:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight)

Then all you have to do is put it in the link bar at the top of the window and you have a link that doesn't take you anywhere but maxes out your window instead.
