WindowsXP Pro SP2 IE7

When I log on to my server and every time I change sites the page appears on
the left side of the screen about an inch wide. There may be no connection
but this happened after doing a deep scan with Spyware Doctor which took over
two hours. It's no big deal, only one of those niggling nuisances that bug
you.

With IE shortcuts, you can right-click, click Properties, set the "Run:"
pane to "Maximized".

For IE instances opened from links within email and web sites, open one
IE window, drag the edges till it's the preferred size, nearly
maximized, then close the window. Also try closing the window while
pressing the Ctrl key. Usually this will help Windows remember the
preferred size. It'll be changed occasionally, when a popup window is
opened with specific size, and you'll have to do this again. Another
suggestion:

- Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.
- Choose any link on that webpage and right-click, open in a new window.
- Stretch that second window out to the desired size; don't use
maximize. You can enter this line though:
javascript:moveTo(0,0);resizeTo(1024,768)
(or whatever your screen resolution)
- Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.

To get maximized windows from Desktop and QL shortcuts, create a few
shortcuts to your browser on your Desktop, or Quick Launch bar, then
edit the shortcuts:

1. Change the "Target:" to:

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

(as an example site.)

2. After adding the internet address, change the "Run:" pane to "Maximized".

(That will make those shortcuts open IE maximized.) There's also
software available that will switch opened windows to the maximized
condition. Here's one:

Hope this helps,
 
Thanks, Jo. Got it.
