Internet Explorer - Full Screen ?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Once each session of windows, you can set it. Open IE, go FullScreen, open a link, go FullScreen, close the second window, and now
all second windows open FullScreen.

Mark -

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, this does not work for me. I've tried in the past the same
thing that you suggested: opening the second IE window, forcing it to full
screen and then closing it. When the second IE opens again it returns as a
non-full screen sized window.

Not quite sure what to try next?

Thanks,
