Thread: [RESOLVED] I.E.8 tweak!?
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Ridgerunr
Other versions when you clicked a link and the page didn't open to full size. You could use arrows at corners to drag it full size. Then hold Ctrl key down and close it with the 'X' at top right. When you clicked the link next time it would open full size. Well guess what? with IE8 no luck. Tried it many times and no luck. Looked for answer all over the net with no luck. Anyone know a tweak ...

In all versions - if you HOLD the CTRL while dragging the window to the size you want and still HOLDing the CTRL key - do File EXIT...Should help Windows remember the size.

Ridgerunr--This is the way I set IE windows to open in the size and location I want. However I do not use IE8, so maybe things have changed. Open an IE window (mother window). Now open a second IE window as a New Window (child window). Using the edges and corners of the child window, drag to size and location as you want it. Now close the mother window. Now close the child window. ...

OK guys,,good to go now. Here's what happened. After the fresh install and after the upgrade to IE8. I fergot a very important step. You need to right click the IE icons both on the quick launch bar and on the "start"/ Programs" list you then go to properties at bottom of menu. On the window that comes up, on the "run" dropdown list,you change it from the default "normal Window" to "maximize" ...

Didn't explain it well enough Jim. After you do the normal to max size on the menu's. When you click a link on a web site,you will probably get a small window.
