Yup, that's what I meant by true maximized - like your max gif. That's exactly what using start /max does. Definitely something wrong if start /max opens your window full screen instead of maximized. What your describing is kiosk mode which iexplore -k starts. Try start /r and see what that does. It's the restore switch. Or don't even use the start, just enter "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" in your run box.
Re the shortcuts, I meant IE shortcuts. You're right there is no property setting for maximized in url shortcuts. That's where you can stretch to a max size and yes it's a "pseudo" one technically. but none the less a max size. vic Lock and hide folders with maximum ease and security. http://personal-computer-tutor.com/lh/lockhide.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 10:18 AM Subject: Re: PCWorks: IE 5.5 > Yeah Vic, I tried that and it opened FULL screen, not > maximized on this PC (IE 5.01).
