Hi,
Nice solution Mr. White.
An extra note.
If you right click on the normal IE Icon and then choose properties u will
get the dialog box that is the same as Tools | Internet options.
So to get the dialog box to change the window settings do the following
Create a short cut to IE on the desktop.
right click on the short cut and select properties.
now u will get the window where u can set the window size.
