Hello Donnie,

 

I do not use AutoSizer but you can create a shortcut to the Bible Gateway
web site and have it opened maximized using Windows.  Only shortcuts to
programs have the Run combo box.  Shortcuts created to documents or web
documents do not have the Run combo box but you can use a workaround.   

 

1.       First create the shortcut:

a.       Go to the desktop and make sure nothing is selected.  Use
CTRL+Spacebar to remove selection if something is selected.    

b.      Press the application key or shift key with F10 and find the New
menu.

c.       Find the shortcut choice and press enter key.

d.      When asked to type the location of the item you can copy the
following line and paste it or type in: 
"c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
"http://www.biblegateway.com/";
(If your IExplore.exe file has a different location then use the appropriate
path instead).  

e.      Use the Next button.

f.        Give the shortcut a name, in this case probably Bible Gateway.

g.       Use the Finish button.

2.       Make the web site open maximized:

a.       Find the icon for Bible Gateway on the desktop.

b.      Press alt key with enter key to enter the properties of the
shortcut.

c.       Use the tab key repeatedly until you find the Run box.

d.      Arrow down to the maximize choice.

e.      Tab to the OK button and use spacebar.

 

The Bible Gateway shortcut should now cause the site to open maximized.

 

I hope it works for you.

 

Take care.

 

Brian Lee

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Maximizing With Windows 7

Auto Sizer 7.1 seems to be working with my Windows 7 64 bit machine.  Let me
tell you what I am experiencing though.  I frequently use a website called
BibleGateway.  If I go to that site by using the Windows R search, when the
site opens it is maximized.  But, I have a shortcut to it on my desktop and
when I use the shortcut the site is not maximized.  Can someone please tell
me why the shortcut on my desktop does not maximize?

Thanks,
Donnie
