Guest Miles Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 How do I get XP to remember window size? I tried pressing CTRL when Xing out, but that doesn't work.

Guest Miles Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Window size memory The application is "clicking on an icon on the desktop". What applications do support remembering windows size then?

With IE, and other Desktop 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. 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.
