    I like the idea of IE window in full screen but I only can set the first IE window as default full screen, the rest I need to press "F11" to enable it. Is there another way to enable all open IE window in full screen mode once and for all? Thanks

    Yes you can BUT how happy are you editing the Registry? ( a registry backup is always advisable if changing anything )


    IF you are happy then this is the KEYs you need to change.......

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Console then find FULLSCREEN and change its Value from 0 to 1

    then find this one

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/InternetExplorer/Main ..... find FULLSCREEN and set its Value from NO to YES



    then reboot and your Explorer & IE screens will be Fullscreen

    You can put -k in the command line used for starting Internet Explorer in kiosk mode (Though it will lock it to fullscreen, where F11 will not work and no controls buttons so one have to use keyboard shortcuts to navigate):

    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -k

    Though it will probably require some filetypes editing to make it consistent when double clicking shortcuts on the desktop or links in outlook express.

    Yep I tried using that line in conjunction with a IE shortcut before Snakefoot and found it near on impossible to live with......

    I guess pressing F11 is not difficult task in the end.

    Thanks guys, I think pressing "F11" is not a bad idea after all.

    You would think this would be something many people would want and it should be an easier IE adjustment. No?
