Screen Size

I have no idea what happened, but recently, every Web page comes up about half size on my screen. Of course, I make it fit the entire screen by clicking on the middle button at the upper right hand corner of the browser screen, but wouild like it better if the page came up and filled the screen again like it used to. I am using Windows XP. Is there anyone out there that can tell me what to do to get the screen size back to the way it used to be?

Thanks.

Place your mouse cursor over any of sides or corners of the window that you see.

 

When you see the small double pointed arrow, press and hold the left click button and drag the screen larger to suit. 

 

There are other ways as well and I'm fairly certain that someone else will come along and point them out.

Re: Screen Size

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have tried that recently many times, but as soon as I open the browser again, it is still only about half the size.

Re: Screen Size

With no other Internet Explorer sessions open, start a new Internet Explorer session, resize and position as you wish. Then hold down CTRL and SHIFT and close Internet Explorer.

Re: Screen Size

I've seen that suggested before.

 

Funny that I never had to do that (CTRL/SHIFT) however.

 

IE6, 7. XP Home, Pro.

 

The manually re-sized window was always remembered. Go figure..
