With Windows XP, how can I get every web page to open full screen every time?  I'm getting tired of hitting the F11 key.

If you'd like to start Microsoft Internet Explorer in full-screen kiosk mode, but don't want that interface all the time, then all you have to do is create a new shortcut that you can use whenever you need the full screen mode. To create the shortcut, right click on a blank area of the desktop and select New|Shortcut. Type in "c:&#92;program files&#92;internet explorer&#92;iexplore.exe" -k and click Next. Now, name your new shortcut and click Finish. When you double-click this new shortcut Microsoft Internet Explorer will open in full screen kiosk mode.\n\nIf you want it always by default you need to create these two registry keys:\n[Start] [Run] [Regedit]\n Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Console\n Modify/Create the Value Name [FullScreen] according to the Value Data listed below:\nData Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: FullScreen\nValue Data: [0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled]\n\n[Start] [Run] [Regedit]\nRegistry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92; Software&#92;Microsoft &#92;InternetExplorer&#92; Main\nModify/Create the Value Name [FullScreen] according to the Value Data listed below.\nData Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: FullScreen\nValue Data: [Modify Value to (Yes)]\nExit Registry and Reboot\n\nIf you resize while browsing it will reset the value to no and you will have to reboot.

I've seen it told on here that you need to close all your windows in IE while maximized and that will train the computer to open them maximixed.\n\nSo far, it's working for me.\n\nIF that is what you are talking about. The information you give isn't really all that concise. It's sort of confusing.

It may take a faster internet connection speed to run full screen.  \nE

Welll, we've got IE7 with no problems.  But what we noted is:  First, the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, etc) does not automatically turn on by default, as it did in prior IE.  You have to turn it on yourself by clicking on Tools, then check Menu Bar; now it will come on automatically.  Second, the Favorites work slightly differently (click on yellow star) and once you get the hang of it, very easy to use.  Third, there is a Print button that is very easy to use.  Fourth, once you get used to the tabs and how to use them, they are a great and very fast feature.  Fifth, you can designate Yahoo as your home page and it comes right up, so I'm not sure how there is interference.  \n\nIf your computer meets all the IE7 requirements, I'd try to download again, from Microsoft Update site.  All of your current IE settings and favorites will automatically be transferred.

It sounds like your monitor settings is off. You might want to change the settings on the monitor so that windows fits on your screen. When you click on maximize, it is supposed to do full screen according to your windows layout.

If you are in Internet Explorer, I've found that accidentally hitting CTRL and + will increase the size, hold them down and it zooms in CTRL and - will do the opposite.\n\nI only found this out today when I tried to do an underline(shft and -) but did ctrl and - instead. Took a while to work out what I'd done and how to correct it. But if you want big text, press ctrl and + and zoom in.

physically type your browser address in when you start the change...about blank did this to me one time and it drove me nuts.I also went to the spacebar and back spaced one letter at a time and low and behold a window pops up with all the different choices for your web browser,click on the one you want when this happens

(1) First of all, if it's a brand new computer, and it didn't go through a ton of updates when you first connected it to the internet, go to http://www.windowsupdate.com/ and make sure you've got the latest and greatest from our GREAT friends at Microsoft.  For your issue, this is only pertinent if you're using Internet Explorer, but it's always a good thing to do.\n\n(2) Make sure your screen resolution (right click on the desktop, properties, settings) is set to at least 800x600, preferably 1024x768.\n\n(3) Make sure the browser window is maximized.\n\n(4) Make sure you have IE, or preferably Firefox, from http://www.mozilla.com/\n\n(5) Make sure your text size is good.  With the two browsers mentioned above, click and hold the control key while you scroll the mouse wheel (if you have one) slowly up and down til you get what you want.\n\n(6) If you have some sort of ad-blocking software, turn it off and restart your browser.  If something here is mistaken for an ad, it can cause a problem like that.\n\nHope that helps!!!

Im assuming you have Windows XP. 256MB of RAM is really the minamum to run XP. IE7 is more memory intensive. Add more memory and defrag your hard drive. That will probably help alot.  512MB would be recomended

Depends on your internet browser...Try pressing F11, it will take you to full screen but you'll get your address bar.

Well assuming you are using the Internet Explorer Browser, all you have to do is go to the page you want to be your home page and choose the "Tools" menu and then "Internet options"  From there click on the "Use Current" button.\n\nThen close all windows including internet explorer.  When you re-open, the browser should open right up to your new page

I hope you mean Internet Explorer.  You're right, you should be able to open as many web browser windows as you want to.  What happens when you try to open a second one?

I use " about:blank ".\nI don't want anything to automatically open and possibly make me wait for a page to load everytimg I open my  browser.\n\nJust as boring, my wallpaper is plain old blue!\n\nwww.downingtwins.com

Don't click on it many times, because that will open up a lot of windows of Firefox. Instead, click on it once and WAIT for it to open. If it still doesn't open, uninstall it and install it again.

I like: \n\n1. SiteAdvisor - flags undesirable sites\n\n2. Resurrect Pages - lets you see cached versions of pages when you can't access the page\n\n3. IEView - opens same page in IE\n\n4. DeskCut. - creates desktop shortcuts of URLs\n\nYou might check about:config options mention in the forever geek article on performance.
