daquixers Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Maximize it then, press the X --- and least on IE 6.0

No, really, I'm not kidding. http://www.mozilla.org I prefer Mozilla, some prefer Firefox. Both are lightyears ahead of IE in terms of functionality and more importantly, security. CW
millbank Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 try each of these one method should work 1/ Maximize the window, then hold down the control button and close the window. In most cases the window will then open maximumized by default. 2/drag the corners of the window to fill the screen and only then click on the maximize button. Close IE, and when you start it again you should be all set.
Tux of Borg Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Right click on the IE icon on your desktop. Click on Properties. Click on the Short Cut Tab Where it says Run: make sure it is set to maximize.

Captain America Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 buffalo mike said: didn't work, driving me nuts..... 141923[/snapback] take your cursor and stretch the window to the size you want dont maximize it but use the cursor to stretch it and then hit the 'x' it will work
