IE 7 opens in small window

mackey · 07-03-2009, 02:43 PM

Hi,

For some reason, IE 7 now is opening in a small window instead of "maximized". Small annoyance, but I would like to reset it to open in a full window.

Thanks,

Bill

There are a number of reasons why IE may open as a small window. For instance; if you launch from a shortcut and the page you are targetting has the size properties set at runtime or if you have it set to run minimised.

When you open IE from the start menu or quick launch toolbar, maximise it, click File > Exit then re-open it from the start menu or quick launch toolbar does it still open as a small window and what is your home page?

Prometheus,

You helped solve the problem. When I open from my shortcut, it opens small. I went and created another shortcut and now its fine. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I deleted my 1st shortcut, so I can't really look at it and see why I had the issue. But, who cares?

Thanks again,

Bill
