Hi,

 

Just want to know when I open a new window from internet explorer, how can I make it open in a minimized size everytime?

 

Cheers

Internet explorer saves the settings every time you close it. So if it is maximized when you close it it will open maximazied. But if you have a few open it saves the settings of the very last one you close. So if it was a small popup advert, it will save that screen size.

 

Best way is top open 1 IE window. Max it and then close it.

 

It should open max next time.

Hello mate,

 

Yep that works but I want it the other way around. I've made the window as small as possible but when I open a link, it opens it in a larger size :(

 

Vijay

Do the opposite then

 

open one window, make it the size you want and close.

 

Some sites when opening another window actually command the size of the window. There is nothing you can do about that really.

done that bud but it doesn't work. I'm just opening pages in new windows from this site.

anyone? :(

anyone? it's getting on my nerves :(

 

Vijay

Just reinstalled windows and I've got this problem again :( Can anyone help?????

 

Cheers

 

Vijay

any suggestions as I can't even find techincal help on Microsoft web site :(

Open Internet Explorer. Now open another instance of Internet Explorer so that you have two running at the same time. In the second one, right-click a link and select Open In New Window. If the new window does not start in full screen, simply resize the window by dragging the edges out to the sides of the screen. Do not use the max button.

 

Close the first window by selecting File, then Close. Now close the window you just made full size. But close it by holding down the Control key and selecting File, then Close. Do not release the Control key until the window is closed.

 

Now close the last Internet Explorer window. If you do this right, the settings will stick. You may or may not have to reboot, depending on your operating system.

That was a google search ... don't know if it works but worth a try ..

didn't work :( but thanks ;)

Dump IE and use Firefox. Use tabs and configure it to always open in a new tab.

You can also use the "Morning Coffee" add-in to open all your fave sites in one go on startup.

is firefox really that much better?

Nope. its overrated. its good but not the Uber broswer that every one raves on about.

sure is ... I have been using it for years. I only ever use IE for development purposes.

 

I would recommend Opera as well.

well it is a damn site better than IE .. In fact Lynx is better than IE

Why do you want to open it up minimized?

OK, are all the websites working on it.? Do all java apps work correctly? Last time I used it a lot java, flash etc didnt display correctly.

Reason for opening minimized is say I'm looking at this site and I want to open 10 new posts, I can open them minimized so I can can still see most of the origninal screen.

Surely that is down to developers programming for a specific browser rathen than making their applications cross browser compatible

 

I can't speak for java apps but I haven't had any trouble except for websites that don't follow web standard programming, which they should. I have always found Opera the most web standard browser. If it works in Opera correctly then it will more than likely work in Mozilla.

 

Conquerer is a fairly good browser as well but I believe it is only available under Linux, not windows.

I like Opera, I wasn't wowed but Firefox at all.

 

IE does have its problems. :(

 

Vijay, use firefox or Opera then. If you hold shift and ctrl while pressing a link, it will open the page but keep focus on the orignal screen.

 

Or if you use IE7 hold ctrl and click the link and it will open the link in another tab, but keep focus on the original
