That's was for 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). Getting IE 5+ to open FULL SCREEN is easy, getting it to open TRULY "Maximized", is not unless you use that program I mentioned. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I tried Vic's posting with 3 separate installations of IE, (IE 4, 5.5, and 6) and his statements were 100% accurate. There never was any .25" space, you must have a configuration setting which is preventing you from achieving this.
