Every pages i try to open in IE7 opens in small format... How cani make them open in full screen?

Answer 1

This resizing trick works in almost all Windows programs including email programs, Word, Excel, your Address Book and many more.

Short version:

Open Internet Explorer.
Press Shift and click a link to force it to open in a separate window.
Press Alt + Tab to return to the first window.
Close it, leaving only the small window open.
Drag the window edges to adjust the size.
Close the resized window.

Just remember: make sure the window you change is the last one you close.


Detailed version:

Sometimes, your first Internet Explorer window opens the right size, but links opening in separate windows are too small or in the wrong position. Here's how to make the second windows open the size and position you want.

1. Work with the right window.
Open one IE window and then hold down your Shift key while you click one of the links on the page. That will force the link to open in a separate window. Switch back to the first window using Alt + Tab - hold down your Alt key while you hit Tab, then release the Alt key. Close the window, leaving only the small window open.

*** THIS IS THE KEY to making the changes stick. ***
You must close all other Internet Explorer windows.

2. Resize the window.
Resize the small window by dragging its edges until it fills the screen or is the size you want. You MUST resize the window manually here - don't use the Maximize button in the upper right corner of the window or y our changes will not stick.

Never resized a window before? Without holding the mouse button down, slowly move the mouse back and forth across the edge of the window. Go right past the edge until you're over the Desktop and then move back. When the cursor turns into a double-sided arrow, click and hold down the mouse button and drag the mouse to the left or right. When you release the button, your window will take on its new size.

Try it with the top or bottom edge or even the corners of the window until you get it just the size you want.

You may have trouble catching the arrow while it is double-sided because it happens so fast. Just scowl at your monitor, threaten it with some dire consequence and try again. Keep moving the mouse slowly back and forth until you can control it. It just takes a bit of practice.

3. Reposition the window if desired.
To move or centre the whole window, use the Title Bar. The Title Bar is the dark-colored strip about 1/4" high that runs across the top of every window. It has the name of the Program and/or the document on the left and these three buttons on the right, the Close button (the X), the Maximize or Restore button and the Minimize button.

With the tip of your mouse arrow somewhere in the colored part of the Title Bar, click and hold down your mouse button and drag the window wherever you want.

4. Close the window.
When its size and position suit you, close the window. From now on, all secondary windows will open properly.


Outlook Express
To resize new email messages, open Outlook Express and click New Mail or Create Mail. Resize the new window by dragging its edges and then close it.

Microsoft Word
If you have 3 or 4 Word documents open and you want to change the size that new Word documents open, close all but one window, then resize and reposition the last remaining window and close it.

Just remember: make sure the window you change is the last one you close.

when you open up explorer look at the bottom right hand corner and there will be a 100%...well maybe not for you yet, but there is one number with % right next to it with a magnifying glass if it isn't 100% then click on it and make it 100% then you should have a full page and everything should be fixed
