Default Screen Size


I always have to hit maximize to get the page to fill up
my screen. This happens all the time.
Thanks

Default Re: Screen Size

Hi Lou,

This is a common workaround - note that IE usually opens at the same size
that the last window was closed at.

Open just one IE window to the small size. Grab the corners and stretch it
to the maximum size. Do NOT use the maximize button. Then depress and hold
the <ctrl> key and close the window by using file/exit, not the "x" in the
corner.

IE should now open in the full window. If not, try again, this time using
the <shift> key.

Lou,
Just 'Pull' the edges outward, and hopefully next time you go back to that
program, it will remember to go to full size.
By pull, place the cursor, at the top, bottom, left, right, one side at a
time, and while pressing the the left key on the mouse, the screen can be
dragged inwards and outwards.
The curser changes to a line with two arrow heads.

Rob.
