Hi Paul, Sorry for the late reply. I already had a list named NewWindow for this purpose, specifically for moving a program window when I opened it (I remember reading the PowerPro help at the time, and the helpfile said that the list had to be called NewWindow - this was early v4 I think from memory, so don't know if that has changed or not). Anyway, I added a new entry to that list: Name: Internet Explorer Command: *Window Window Control Action: Max Target Window: =iexplore It doesn't work on my PC though. When I click on the Internet Explorer button in my PowerPro bar, it just opens non maximised. I'm thinking I must have done something wrong, but I don't know what. The NewWindow list is definitely set in the second dropdown of the Setup dialog box. If it's any help, after IE opens, the PowerPro bar stays on top of the IE window for a second or two (see my other thread in this group on the most recent PowerPro beta's for me making the PowerPro bar stay open a few seconds after launching a program). -- Regards, CM Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
