How do I control the size of the window when opening E-mail, EBay, Internet
Explorer and other pages? Originally all pages opened full screen.

Here are a few ways:

- The IE windows opened through links open to the size remembered from
the previous window opened. So close all but one IE window, resize it
to fit the screen and press the Ctrl key as you close the window. That
size should be remembered for awhile, at least till a window opens with
a forced size, say, when you click on a link from a website, e.g..

- OE operates the same way when you use Mailto to open a compose window.
But any OE shortcut can be convinced to open OE Maximized. Just
right-click the shortcut, click Properties, change the "Run:" pane to
read "Maximized".

- One way to convince links on the desktop, or Quick Launch bar to
actually open maximized:

1. Open the Start Menu, right-click the IE shortcut, click Send To,
Desktop (Create Shortcut).

2. Right-click the shortcut, click Properties, and change the "Run:"
pane to read "Maximized". In the "Target:" pane, edit it so beyond
'"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"' you add a space,
then the address you want to open, so it looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" http://www.ebay.com
