Browser does not open full screen
At one point in time, I clicked on a desktop icon to open a certain website
With the arrows on both sides... I pulled in the page, to be narrower... so that I could open another page... doing the same thing... in order to compare two photos side by side
Now every time I open my browser... or a web site from an icon on my desktop... the window opens narrow... maybe about one third the width of my screen
Vertically the window opens fully... but horizontally, the borders are pulled in and narrows the window's width
I can't seem to correct this
Many thanks
Chuck

Internet Explorer tends to be stupid that way. Whether using IE or another browser, try opening a single browser window, resize or maximize the window the way you want, and then close it. Reopen the browser, hopefully the last window state was remembered.

Right click on your desktop icon of IE and then go to properties and use the dropdown box next to Run: and choose to open 'Maximized'
Also when your IE window is open maximized, Hold down the CTRL and SHIFT keys at same time and use mouse to go to file and then choose Exit with both keys pressed
Hopefully these 2 will help with opening full all the time

I've tried all of the suggestions to this question. It still doesn't work. I know about F11 and full screen but I want it to be opened when I open IE. It used to and I don't know what I did that makes it be tall and narrow (vertically). I have tried stretching at corners, making full page, doing the shift/ctrl bar, everything. I've even restarted my computer so it would go back perhaps to its original state. It sort of bugs me. :mad:

Well, this is what I did! I deleted the short cut to IE on my desktop and created a new one and low and behold the IE opened to a full screen. I should have gone to school to be a IT person.

Also if you right click on your IE shortcut and go to properties, and then go to the shortcut tab there is an option near the middle called Run:. Choose maximized in the drop down list and hit apply. Should open maximized all the time.
