Full Screen IE!?

[Oracle]

I've installed the Vista Inspirat thingy,......I have a question though. When I open IE, it doesnt go full screen, only a smallish window opens! How can I rectify this!?

/no smart 'use FF' comments!/

Thanks

can't you just get properties on the shortcut and change it to run maximised?

F11 should also toggle it into an even larger area, removing menus etc.

F11

If that doesn't work, I don't know.

Don't you just hold down Ctrl and click the Maximise button to reset it?

HAH! done it. Sorry, there might have been some confusion here. I didnt mean 'full size' as in, loose all the tool bars and menu, I meant full size as in, fits the screen nicely

What I had to do was open IE, click and drag each aspect of the window to the edge of the screen, then when I reloaded a new IE, it appeared full screen

w00t!

Going beyond the full-screenness of the mode summoned by F11, you can enable kiosk mode by starting iexplore.exe with the -k flag.

At the command-line:
cd C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer press enter
iexplore.exe -k press enter

Very useful that, Thanks

Didn't know that one, I'll remember it! Thanks.

Is there any way to use the -k switch but with a URL other than your homepage?

AFAIK, which isn't very far at all, no. However, I suppose you could always just set your home page to something like Google then link to where ever you want to go.

i swear to do what the OP wanted you just right click on the shortcut go to, run and change it to maximised?
