I am using XP Service Pack 3. It is working very good, i dont have any problem. Just came here to know some kind of trick. Actually i would like to have all new windows that I open in a maximized state. Is it possible to do in any way? Anything from registry? If yes, please let me know soon.
I think this can be done from the Windows Explorer settings itself. Just go to control panel > folder options > click General tab. Here see if the option "Open each folder in the same window" is check marked.
Just try out the following steps and see if it makes any difference:
- Open a webpage. Stretch it out to full size. Don't use maximize.
- Choose any link on that webpage and right-click, open in a new window.
- Stretch that second window out to the desired size; don't use maximize. You can enter this line though:
- javascript:moveTo(0,0);resizeTo(1024,768) (or whatever your screen resolution)
- Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.
To get maximized windows from Desktop and QL shortcuts, create a few shortcuts to your browser on your Desktop, or Quick Launch bar, then edit the shortcuts:
1. Change the "Target:" to: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
2. After adding the internet address, change the "Run:" pane to "Maximized".
Thank you very much for the detailed help shivinder. I followed the first process step by step as you suggested but when i think everything working good in terms of manually resizing the window, a sized page or popup ruins all further instances of what I've taken time to adjust. Sad.
