That was me that suggested AutoSizer, (what I use) since nothing else works, at least not in my case on 98, ME or XP. I don't know what Hugh suggested since he left out WHICH registry key to change! But, I have tried that as well and it didn't work. I went through the registry and tried to mod every entry regarding "windowplacement" and all variables thereof, as well as "size", "location", etc., etc. Never had this problem on IE4, it started on IE5 along with a HOST of OTHER screw-ups thanks to M$. -Clint

Bob writes ... "Starting Internet Explorer in Full Screen Kiosk Mode, you can create a shortcut that will start the Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode. 1. Right click on an open area of the desktop 2. Select New / Shortcut 3. In Command line, enter ... "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -k 4. Give it any name you want (ie. IE Full Kiosk Mode). You must close the window via CTL-ALT-DEL after it is initially open, then it will open in full screen after that until such time the size is changed. There are no menu's and all commands need to be entered though keystrokes (eg Ctrl-O to open)." I did it and like Clint says, I don't want that "full full" window (I can't even see the taskbar with that one; not only that, the upper right hand buttons aren't there and cntrl/alt/del is the only way to close it). It's interesting; I've never seen that window, never heard of "kiosk mode" but it's not what I want. I tried the registry trick: a. Start Regedit b. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main c. Delete or rename the key Window_Placement d. Restart IE In that "Main" key I even checked a box there indicating "full window" (of course, backed up the regiestry first), and again, nothing happened. And as for Hugh's suggestion: And Hugh's suggestion ... Opened IE Window not full size Ran Regedit, Checked registry Key Closed registry Back to IE, clicked resize box to full size window Closed IE Ran Regedit, Checked registry Key, did not change Closed registry Opened IE, still full size Shut down IE Ran Regedit, Checked registry Key, did not change Closed registry Opened IE Window opened full size Shut down IE via File/Close (or clicked the X box, both worked the same) Shut down windows 98 Booted windows 98 Opened IE, window opened full size Ran Regedit, Checked registry Key, value changed Hugh, I say this with all the kindness I can give (all I see is that you are opening and closing IE and checking some registry key) ... I don't know what you are talking about ... please break it down to steps. Maybe Clint is right, there's nothing that can be done. I havent done it but someone here said, "If nothing helps, try . http://www.southbaypc.com/AutoSizer/ ... Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
