FabDJ Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Maby a stupid question but every time I open explorer I get a 3/4 screenI will use the icon to expand to full size but every new page I open is 3/4 size again. Happens at work and at home. Can use f11 for a full screen but want toolbars as well.Have windows 7 at work and XL at home.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 just use the maximize button thats in the middle as shownyours might look different but this is basicly whats therehappens to me so thats all I do hit Maximize, none of this F11 because you can get stuck one time if not carefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupe Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 not sure why this would be happening..i'd say to update your graphics driver. best thing to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabDJ Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Found partial solutionOn the very top left hand corner of the screen on explorer icon hit maximise. All pages you open from then on will be full size while you are on line.When you close and open explorer again you will have to maximise again for this next session as your back to 3/4 size page.

DjDennis Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 yeah thats windoze for you, they have a mind of thier own...or just do thisRestoring the Default Window Size in Internet Explorer Added 12/8/01If the default size of Internet Explorer is not what you want,1. Start Regedit 2. Go to HKey_Current_User / Software / Microsoft / Internet Explorer / Main 3. Delete or rename the key Window_Placement 4. Restart IE play around and see what suits you best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 id say switch to firefox soooooooooooo much fasterhttp://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 oh here is a better way of keeping IE to max size every timeInstructionsStep 1 - Open Internet Explorer. Make sure only one window is open and that there are no hidden pop-ups.Step 2 - Enlarge the Internet Explorer window to full screen without using the maximize button. You can do so by clicking and dragging at each corner until Internet Explorer is filling your entire screen.Step 3 - Press and hold the "Ctrl" key and click "File" followed by "Exit." Do not exit by clicking on the "X" button.Step 4 - Open Internet Explorer again to test your results. If it doesn't work, repeat the steps using the "SHIFT" button instead of the "Ctrl" button.But you must not have any other IE screen open when doing this.
