IE7 - oops I've hit a button somewhere!
« on: Tuesday 01 May 07 15:50 BST (UK) »
My IE7 is coming up half the size when it logs in. It used to come up full screen size. I can resize to full screen but am finding it annoying to do every time.

 Now no doubt I have hit a button somewhere which has reduced the automatic sizing but try as I may I cant find it. Anyone got any clues please?

Try resizing then Tools - options - then- advanced then make sure the 'reset zoom level to 100% is checked . if it is then try  un checking then check again.

this could work

Pity I tried it with mine down to a very small size. Unchecked the bow and when I reopened it it was still very small. I re did as I suggested then it worked OK  then.

Someone else may have an idea

If you want a window to open 'Maximised' every time.....

Click the 'Maximise' button to give you full screen......then go to 'File', scroll down to, and click 'Close' or 'Exit' to close the window......the next time you open it it will be, and stay, Maximised......
