Dumb questions du jour - internet explorer

Okay, here goes:

1. When I am on the internet and want to open a new window, so I can have a couple sites going at once, I hit control-n like normal. The "new" window is never full screen and I always have to maximize it. Is there a way I can set the new window to full screen by default?

2. When I have, oh, let's say my Yahoo mail on one window and my ebay on another... let's say I compose an email and hit send. As soon as I hit send I switch over to the other window (ebay) to look at something. Meanwhile, the Yahoo window completes it's "send" command and then that window pops to the front. This can occur many ways, and that was just a typical example. How can I set it so that when I switch to a window it STAYS there and doesn't get overridden by the "other" window once it completes it's command? It's probably something in the internet options that I'm not understanding.

3. I mainly use Juno due to the price. I do have another isp that I share accounts with another person, so if I can't get on Juno for whatever reason, I have it as a backup isp. One day when cleaning out junk from my old laptop stuff I suspected was junk from the previous owner, etc, I must have gotten rid of something deathly important, because Juno will not browse on that computer anymore. I can connect, I can do Juno mail, but when trying to use ie I just get the message "this page cannot be displayed", even if I open up a new window NOT using Juno's browser. I clicked on where it says to "detect network settings" or whatever it said, and it won't even do that, it just refreshes the dreaded white page. If I use the other isp it works fine, no issues, browse all day long. I hit "restore defaults" in all of the internet options, no help. I reinstalled Juno, first by just installing it from a zip disc, no good, then I uninstalled Juno from the control panel, REinstalled it fresh, no good. It has Windows 98 so there's no system restore that I am aware of. No point asking Juno for help, I've tried that before for other issues and they give canned responses.

Help? You guys are the brains....NOT me!

 

Have you considered a tabbed browser?
Browsers such as Mozilla Firefox (available at www.mozilla.org) provide a tab feature that allows you to have several pages open in one browser window. I bet it would be right up your alley!
