Handy Win7 IE8 trick

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I was having problems keeping the IE page fully maximised each time I opened a new page. To correct this, I would expand the borders of the page to the size I wanted by clicking and dragging them. Then not exiting the page by clicking on the "X", but by going to main menu and selecting File then "Exit". This system had worked with XP IE and also with Vista IE but did not work for Win 7 IE.
This works: Right click on Desktop IE icon, select Properties.
In the window that opens, the "Target" is highlighted. Delete that and insert "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". Insert the quotes as well.

Would you be opposed to using a new browser?

I have a couple of extras on here already Chrome and Firefox. Always used IE so never really liked any of the others. Couldnt get used to them. I had also previously used Opera but just couldnt get into it either. I know there are a bagload of them out there:

You might also want to try this trick, working for all windows' windows that lose the maximization at next opening.

. make sure that the window is maximized
. hold down CTRL and click on "X" (or file->exit)
