0 mcb Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 ive had this problem a thousand times (and so has everyone else) and i usually managed to muddle my way to a solution, but i finally found how to do it definitively. keep in mind the size may be changed later on by something, but this will last you as long as possible. 1. open a link that gives you a crappily-sized window. 2. close all windows other than the new one you opened 3. hold shift, r-click the taskbar, click either of the tile buttons. this brings the window as close to full screen as youre going to get. 4. Still holding shift, in the IE window click File>Close thats as much as youre going to be able to do. its dumb that MS hasnt fixed this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Desvio Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 On mine(6.0.2600 XP) you don't have to do all that. Just hold shift while resizing the last open window. One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to make it remember to always include the status bar on all my windows, when I use Ctrl+n to open a new window.
