Regarding Shortcuts (Windows 98 and Outlook Express) Seems to me that there are two kinds of shortcut icons in IE (as seen by the Properties of each). In my case, I'm talking about a shortcut to access GeoCities; though that shouldn't matter.
1. The usual shortcut where the Properties shows two tabs (General and Shortcut). The Shortcut tab has Target, Start in (where I see it is blank), Shortcut key, and Run box (where we determine the size of the window). Tnen there is te "Find Target" and "Change Icon" buttons. Note that here, the "Change Icon" possibility (without browsing) has mazimum options. 2. There's another shortcut icon where Properties show two tabs (General and Web Document). The Web Document tab has URL, Shortut key, Visits (showing some number), a check box (Make this page available offline), and a Change Icon button (without browsing there are 4 options). This second one is excellent if I want to change the page it accesses; I just change what is in the URL box (which I can't do in the first shortcut). But it doesn't provide for changing window size. What happens with this second shortcut is that I can get it to open just short of mazimum but never fully mazimumized. The first one allows for changing window size but not changing the URL; the second one will allow for changing the URL but will never open to fully mazimum and has no provision for changing window size. Until I hear a suggestion, I'm in this catch 22. Meanwhile, I'm wondering why there are two types of shortcuts. I'm sending a jpg of these two shortcuts to you and to Hugh; I can't explain this any clearer, Clint. If you are ever in NYC, you are welcomed to take a look ...
