It's interesting - if IE is not maximised (say half screen size), when I start it, PowerPro maximises it (takes about a second for PowerPro to do this, so you can see the window actually go from 'un-max' to max). However, if you then close IE and start it again, PowerPro seems to open it maximised right away! Like, it doesn't seem to start small, then PowerPro makes it big - it actually seems to start big (unless it's just too quick to see). You can then un-maximise it, close it, run IE again, and you will see PowerPro maximise it once more. Then close it, run IE again - and it will again seem to start maximised. *sigh* If only IE had an option to start maximised, I wouldn't have needed to do this just for something so simple...oh well, I only ever use it for the odd website that absolutely won't run in Opera or Firefox... -- Regards, CM Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
