full screen

[ahsj]

I just recently bought a new computer and now I cannot figure out how to make
my screen come up as full screen instead of the minimized view. My old
computer used to bring pages up as full screen and I had no problem with that.
How can-when opening up internet explorer- I be sure it will come up full
screen? This happens with anything I open. Some sites do not have a
maximize pic. so how can i set my computer so that it will show up as
maximized. (The site I am trying to make full screen used to and now with
this new computer it does not, even yahoo.com shows up as a minimized screen
and I have no option to maximize) HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

Hi

Drag the window to the size you want it, then close that window via
File>Close/Exit.

Hi Friend,

I have found a page which will definately help you with your issue,
regarding Internet Explorer Page Resizing.

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/ietips.htm

I am also quoting the text from the page for your benefit:

Ever notice sometimes you right-click on a link and open a new window and
it's not full screen? This usually occurs because IE remembers the last
window size when closed. Many times a background pop-up will do this too, if
it is the last window closed. To resize the window and regain control:

Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the window manually by dragging the sides to the desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you must do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window_Placement"=

To reset the "Window_Placement" entry to default. You can download a small
reg file to reset (to default) and correct this behavior.

Download: ResetWindowPlacement.reg [right-click and select: "Save Target As"]
To use: right-click and select: Merge - Ok the prompt and reboot.
