Guest Sammy Castagna Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 When you click on a link or type in a password and a new window opens is there a way to control the size of that window. Most of the time it is small and I would make them full size. Or is that something that can not be controlled? Sammy
Guest Bob I Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: window size Internet Explorer windows will open at the size you closed the last one. Do this, open Internet Explorer, window it (not full screen) now drag the edges of the window to the size you like, and then close it. Now all windows that are not specified to be real small by the web programmer will open at the size you set.

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 full size. 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. See: http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/30.html http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEMax 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.
