Explorer and Netscape

[itsmeeh]

Can anyone help me out? when i right click on a link and pick "open in new window"... how do you make the next screen into a full size screen instead of a miniature one... thanks whoever helps

The way it works for me is that the last screen size that I shut down is the size of the new screen that opens up. Unless I shut it down on my secondary screen, then the new one comes deformed.

So there may be a setting for that under folder options, but I ain't sure.

hey woundedwallet... there should be a option that I can choose from what from I think... but maybe im wrong... but i imagine there would be something like that

In WinME you go to ControlPanel/FolderOptions/View and select Remember each folders view settings. Then, once you have closed a window that is maximized the next one will be likewise.

Windows 98 FE and SE have a similar "Options" choice -- I think in "Tools", but I haven't used these versions for a long time and my memory is short.

what emjem said.

 

[itsmeeh]

can anyone tell me how to do it in win98 SE using Internet Explorer?

 

[Fumiup]

What version of IE? IE 5.5 should be the same on any system.

 

[itsmeeh]

its the newest version... i dunno which one it is... but i just downloaded it

 

[WoundedWallet]

itsmeeh, I don't want to seem too harsh but finding out the version of any software its one of the most basic things anyone should know.

Just go to help and click on the "aboutxxx" link. Where xxx is the name of the software you're using. Some crude programs without a help link will still have the "aboutxxx" under file or another link on the toolbar.

Same goes for the "Options" link. Just click all the links on the toolbar at either IE or WindowsExplorer and you will find the link. Then you can follow emjem's directions.

These are baby steps, you should do it on your own. Most people get irritated when the person asking for help isn't willing to look around first before calling for help. Be curious.

hey woundedwallet... i cant tell you what version of my internet explorer because I'm not using my computer right now... im at work so there is no way for me to find out right now...

 

[itsmeeh]

if anyone could help me out who uses internet explorer 5... where is the view option? i checked under tools and internet options but there are no view options under that

 

[WoundedWallet]

Ok, ok. Sorry for nagging.

IE5 doesn't have folder options.

So go to WindowsExplorer/tools/FolderOptions/View/RememberEachFolders'sViewSettings(third choice from bottom) and make sure you have an x inside the box.

If that doesn't do the trick, I'm sorry for having wasted your time.

sorry about that woundedwallet... i know these steps are very simple but its pretty hard when im not near my own computer... and i guess im just looking at the wrong places... thanks tho
