Window size
Using XP - I like it so dont ask me to change
Using IE 8 - I like that too
My window opens in a size which is less than the screen - and Im tired of stretching it to fit.
I have tried stretching , then closing the tab , but XP does not seem to remember the last size or position
Any pointers please

Re: Window size
I seem to recall a trick where you press the shift key when you close it down (red X)?
Edit: after making it full size, of course. I think a double click on the top bar makes it maximum size?

Never try and argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you based on experience.

Re: Window size
Hello Coupe Racing,
try this:- right click on the IE shortcut, then click options which should open a small window with tabs, click on the shortcut tab (If not already open) then lower down there is a menu box labelled 'Run:' click on the menu arrow which then gives three options, so click on 'Maximised' then 'Apply' and 'OK'.
Hopefully this will sort it ?

Re: Window size
Hello Coupe Racing,
I can see that I put options when it should have been properties, sorry. The rest should be as I said.

Re: Window size
Hello Coupe Racing,
would you expand a bit, were you able to set the 'Run' window to 'Maximised, and did you click 'Apply' and 'OK' after? If you now right click on the IE shortcut and then click 'Options' does the 'Run' window still have 'Maximised'? If it has then my knowledge doesn't extend further.
