Browser Question...

[Gib]

When opening a browser using a desktop icon/shortcut..the
window always opens minimized. Maximizing the window
every single time is really getting quite irritating!
There has to be a setting somewhere?? Thanks very much!

Right click on the shortcut and choose Properties. Under the shortcut tab
select "Run: maximized"

I don't have that option when right cliking the icon??
Am I saving desktop shortcut links wrong.. WTF! Thanks!!

Gib, use your mouse and stretch the window to the full size of the screen.
Then click File and then Close, now that shortcut will open the window to
the size you stretched it to. This works with OE, IE and Windows Explorer.

You must be using the "pre-defined+ IE shorcut placed by Windows.

Try this instead

Try some of these, make sure you only have ONE IE window open when trying
them.

Line 60. Correct IE Window Placement (Reg or VBS)
