Fezmid Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 didn't work, driving me nuts..... 141923[/snapback] Install and use Firefox or Mozilla. 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.

millbank Posted December 1, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted December 1, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
