Maximizing Ab' S Response

[FRISKA]

For years I have clicked on the AB desktop icon and immediately recieved a full page AB site. Lately this has changed as the response to my click in the desktop icon gives me a matchbox size portion of the upper left hand corner of my desk top screen. ie - the File/ Edit/ View/ Favoourites etc line and the two above(including the return/forward arrows. This in on XP. Any suggestions??? please.

I also frequntly have the same problem when clicking on the Int Exp key.

I have tried pulling my boundaries out but they wont move.

Go to Start > Programs

RIGHT-click on Internet Explorer.

Select 'Properties'.

The 'Shortcut' tab will probably already be selected. If not, click on it.

Change 'Run' from 'Normal window' to 'Maximized'.

Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'

Tks for prmpt reply but I have tried that and I get a small window telling me such a move is not permissable. The matchbox size I get is not a minisze of a complete screen - it is of that top left hand corner only. The text etc is normal full page size print etc..

Well you've lost me there. Minimising a window doesn't change the size of the text or the graphics anyway. It simply introduces scroll bars to allow you to move across the page. So you're describing a perfectly normal minimised window.

I'm at a loss as to why you can't set Internet Explorer to run as maximised. (I actually did it on my own computer, which is also running XP, immediately prior to posting so that I could remind myself of the procedure. It worked OK for me).

Perhaps it's time to switch to a decent browser? The majority of the 'regulars' here in AB's Technology section wouldn't touch the (totally dire) Internet Explorer with an infinite number of the proverbial bargepoles. Firefox leads the way for most of us:
