That's FULL screen, we're talking about maximized, and in these cases, IE will always open maximized by "starting" it, by clicking the 'blue e' icon in the quick launch toolbar if you set it to do that. That is not the problem, the problem is with desktop URL shortcuts or clicking links in emails for example. THOSE are what will not open in a *TRUE* *Maximized* browser window. (Full screen = FULL screen, no text toolbar at top, no address bar. Maximized = Maximized browser window with all toolbars & address bar at the top, what you get when you click the "square" symbol @ upper right. As long as you can still see the square, it's not maximized properly. When you see the DUAL small squares [or more accurately, rectangles] @ upper right, along with the address bar and toolbar, it's maximized). -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "vic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It has always worked for me in IE5-5.5 Another thing you can do to maximize is use the start command. start /max "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" Just enter it in the run box and click Ok, or if you want to always be sure of IE opening max, just make a bat file with the same command. ie @echo off start /max "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" cls You can then use the bat file instead of the IE icon to start IE. If you have IE set to load automatically at startup, put the file in your Start Up folder. If you want to run it without the brief dos window flash, create a shortcut to the bat file and under Properties, choose Run Minimized and Close On Exit. You can also use visual basic scripting to run the file hidden. ie CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "%WINDIR%\iemax.bat ",0 hth vic ----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton" > That won't work.
