IE browser window resizing

[jisoo22]

Hello,

I have a Windows 98SE machine with IE 5.5. Here's the problem, sometimes after first booting up the machine in the morning, the IE browser window opens up to only a partial screen when you strart it for the first time instead of expanding full screen. Is there a hard setting to keep it opening up to a full screen window every time?

Thanks,
Jisoo22

In IE if you go to Tools>Internet Options and in the box for your homepage place the following. (changing 800,600 to your monitor size + change your homepage to the actual url of the page you use - leave in the single quotes) Then IE will always open in full screen mode.


javascript:resizeTo(800,600);moveTo(0,0);document.location.href='your homepage'


Keep this as one single line - it may be appear split in the posting view.

Try the following:
open a first instance of IE, dont worry about the size of this window. From this first instance, open a new window (CTRL-N). Resize this second window either maximize it or stretch it to the size you want. Go back to the first window and close it. You should now have only the second IE window; close IE. The next time you restart IE it should remember the settings.

good luck.

You may want to look into a tool previously mentioned in this forum called "auto sizer".

This may be a little too obvious, but right click the shortcut you use to open Ie, and check the properties and then the "Run" window. Be sure it's set to maximum screen.
