Computer Q&A Board / Internet / How to change size of browser when opened

When I open up a web page I most often get the image about 2/3 the size of my screen. I can click the upper right corner to enlarge it, but can I ask for the full screen all the time without any further manipulations. Thanks

If you drag the edges of the page out to full screen, normally it will continue to open at that size.
There is also a free program that will cause all pages to open full screen. I can't remember where I saw it, but a google search should be able to locate it :)

   I agree with dlwolff0.  I think that Internet Explorer remembers the size that it was when it was last closed and opens at that size.  So if you resize a Internet Explorer window to full screen and then close it, it should open up at that size.
   I think that whether that works or not depends on how Internet Explorer is opened.
   I thought that that program which causes all programs to open full screen (maximized) was mentioned in a post in this discussion board but I could not find it.

Do as Mr. Wolf says then hold down the Ctrl key and click on the X in the top right hand corner, then reopen the page.

You can also go to Start/All Programs, right click on Internet Explorer/Propertied and in the Run window set it to Maximised, Apply/OK

The freeware program you are looking for is "IE Maximizer". It can be found here:

The thing I like about it is that it also works on outlook express windows.
