    I've had to activate Screen Magnifier in all of my versions of Windows.

    In Windows 8.1 and 10 I can go to Views -> Full Screen. However, in Windows 7, that option is greyed out (see att'd.) and only have the choice of Docked.

    Is there any way I can switch it to Full screen?

    Tried editing Registry. The value doesn't exist. With my High contrast theme, Aero is turned off.

    Thanks Eldon.

    You know, as I do, that there's always a workaround for everything Microsoft.

    I'm wondering if adding a .Reg Dword will make Full Screen available.

    I am not sure, but it may be useful information in this video, about looking for animation in the registry, and perhaps a compatibility mode

    I hope this will be of use. -I cannot try it as I have full capability with any aero stuff-

    If that was no good, did you find a way? I thought you probably looked at other programs, but.........................
    Have you otherwise thought of trying Magnifier- you can use it free for up to an hour at a time (apparently up to 100 hours)

    The Magnifier is ideal for individuals that need visual assistance, work with differing screen resolutions, do presentations and/or training, and Graphic Artists. It is simple & easy to use, its operation is automatic, and it is an ideal enhancement to the Windows Environment.
    How do I use it?
    Load it, position it, and reference it as needed - it is that EASY! You can Zoom (full screen / window toggle) with Alt-Z. You can view (hide / show toggle) the Magnifier with Alt-S. Invert colors (toggle) with Alt-I. Toggle cursor display with Alt-C. Select 2x magnification with Alt-2, or 3x with Alt-3. And those are the basics - there are many more useful and advanced features... For a more detailed list of keyboard shortcuts, and other user options, Download the Magnifier software.
    They have a link or a full list of keystrokes.
