Window size

[Guest]

I know you get this question all of the time, but I've apparently changed the
settings on IE7. When I open a new window or when a new window pops up by
clicking on a link, the window size is about 1/8 of a screen. How do I
change this so that new windows come up full page size?

Thank you,

Amadeus

There are two aspects to the problem.

The child window is the size of the last IE instance closed previous to this
session. The parent wll remember this in spite of the size of any closed
child windows.
Close the last IE instance at the size desired, by Shift-clicking the right
corner X.

You can create a shortcut to iexplore.exe that can have its Property page
set to "Maximize"

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 web page. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.
- Choose any link on that web page 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,

Try this:

window.moveTo(0,0)
window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight)
