Web browsers

[Elmer Fudd]

Silly little question really      but .......

When you open a browser to view a web page, how do you get it to open full page instead of a quarter?

I've looked all over XP for a setting but can't seem to find it anywhere !

Anybody help as this is so annoying   .

I think it remembers how you left it when you closed it last time. This can all get pretty confusing when you've got 3 million browser windows open at the same time, but it does kind of remember.

Try it - launch a new browser window resize then close it.
Launch another one, and it should open up the same size as the one you just closed.

Tried it JH.

Same thing happens every time. I also thought it remembered but it does'nt seem to ....

Open your browser to the size you want, hold shift key down and close the window. That will update the size settings for next time.

Just tried that too .......

Nope, just the same arrrghhhhhh !!!!!

I'm going mad, mad I tell yer !!!!!

LOL!

elmer - your pc has obviously caught "windowshasbeeninstalledforlongerthan6months-itis"

[Elmer Fudd]

Yep, your right JH !

So now I revert to telling myself, that browsers opening in little farting windows, are a benefit to me.

For all those with the standard opening browsers, please don't ask for tech help as to how you get yours like mine ........ 'cause I've not a clue !!!

But remember "small ones are more juicy"

when ever i open my browser its appearing off screen somewhere and the only way i can see it is to right click the box at the bottom and select maximise.

dont know what caused it but aint a clue how to get it back to normal !

Make it the only active window, you can use alt-tab to get to all the others and close 'em.
When it's the only active window, press alt-space, M, press up arrow then move your mouse around. You should eventually see the window as you drag it with your mouse.
Try it on a window you can see first to see what happens.

Another way to sort this out is by editing the registry...

WARNING: Always backup the registry before editing it, I take no responsibility if you screw up your machine

IE stores (at least for IE 6, other versions may differ) the location of the main window in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window_Placement

Deleting this value should cause IE to start as a resonably sized window on your desktop.  When you close that window the Window_Placement value will recreated storing the new location.

I use Opera Only opens as one main window with child windows nested inside.
