Is there way of enlarging display to fill entire screen in IE 7.0 ?

[Don J]

I am using Internet Explorer 7.0 with Windows XP. Is there anyway of
enlarging the display to fill the entire screen?

Alternatively, refer me to a good IE newsgroup where I can post this
message. I can't find it.

Click on the maximize button (box) on the upper right corner of the IE7
window? If this is not what you mean, please explain.

Alternatively, you can use the "full-screen" mode by pressing F11 within the
IE7 window. This will hide your toolbar, menu items, status bar, etc...
Press F11 again to go back to a Windowed version.

Actually, it doesn't hide the status bar.

Thanks! Hitting F11 is what I wanted to do.

FYI, here is the newsgroup for IE7 issues,

That's prolly by design. You really don't want to give a web page the
ability to spoof the entire OS desktop, under any circumstances.

Fake "system" dialog boxes pushing 200+ fake antispyware scanners are
bad enough; IMO, no web browser should be able to spawn dialogs that
are not obviously part of the browser. Imagine a fake desktop as SE?
Something like a fake BSoD, with only one "Yes" way forward?
