netwalker Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Guys, Can someone tell me how to get IE to open full screen. ATM it is opening in a window and it is a pita to maximise all the time. Thanks... Paul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 You should try switching to Firefox, Opera, Chrome or even Safari as an alternative to Internet Explorer. One way you can do this (at least I remember it from back in the day, I don't know if it works now) is to right click on the shortcut you use and select properties. Then go to the shortcut tab on the top of that screen and select "maximized" under "Run". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I don't recall other versions, but IE8 for me opens maximized as long as it was maximized when I closed it. The same holds true for "full screen" mode (F11). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfredrick Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I don't recall other versions, but IE8 for me opens maximized as long as it was maximized when I closed it. The same holds true for "full screen" mode (F11). There is a check off box in the folder options menu that allows for saving last opened status. You may need to un-check, open the window, and re-check to get it to stick. No problems with mine opening full screen every time (IE8). Oh, BTW, the new Microsoft toolbar slows down the process a lot. Dumping it helps, and makes IE8 reasonably fast, and faster than 6 or 7.
