IE11 Opening

[elbmek]

Happy new year everyone, hope its a good one for you all.

Someone remind me please how to enable IE11 to open full screen. I have just changed my default back to IE11 due to Chrome's persistent crashing

Hey Mike,

For the desktop IE11, you could press the F11 key to toggle full screen mode on/off.

I did see a potential answer which went out for dinner in the midst of it, so left it alone. It did mention F11 but not as a permanent solution but something to press whenever IE was opened. So if I press F11 once, it remembers? Am I right? (Unless of course I press it again!).

edit: just seen another that says drag window open to full screen, then, holding down ctrl, hit the X to close it and it will open full screen from then on. Tried that and waiting for a failure

Damn. Went to Google Earth and it opens small screen, pressed F11 and it opened but FULL screen, eg: no buttons. no good for me. I had to press F11 to make it smaller so I could use the buttons.

Went back to google earth, opened small screen, dragged the corners over to the edges and - holding ctrl, hit the X to close it. Then opened it again - full screen.

Looks like I have to do this for EVERY shortcut!!! I don't want FULL screen but FILL screen.

nope, windows shrink again when re opened later .............................

I seem to have the IE icon opening the browser in FILL screen every time now, but the desktop shortcuts to online webs are not playing ball.

Normally IE will open the same way as it was last closed.

Did you click on the maximize button (top right corner), then close IE to set it?

yes mate, next time in - small window

If you like, see if after resetting your folder views back to default are you able to set IE to maximize again after closed the same.
