How can I make the forum & other sites display in a full screen. I always have to click on the maximize button to fill the screen.
Thanks
Joe

If you're using Internet Explorer, F11 will take you to full screen. "Usually" the application will remember its size when closed and will open up the same way.

Another way is to create a shortcut on your desktop for IE, right click on the icon, select Properties and Run, then choose to start maximized.

Jim-- Unlike 'normal' applications, IE 5.5 does not seem to have a 'run' (or other advanced) settings. I don't see a way to follow the tip you suggested above. Give me some help as I'm always ready to learn. Thanks --Everett

To follow up with what Jim said:

You can guarantee this will happen if you hold down the 'ctrl' key, and close the window by clicking the "x" in the upper right corner of the window. This will also work on any window you have open, it will open up the same size, same place, next time.

Everett, IE doesn't have a normal shortcut Icon on the desktop, that's why I suggested creating one, although I haven't done it and don't know if it would really work.

Carter, that's a cool tip, I'll remember that one.
