Oh, I see! You are clicking on an IE shortcut icon. I am clicking on the actual IE icon. When I do properties on mine, there is no shortcut tab, I made a shortcut IE icon and when I rightclicked on it and selected properties, the window that popped up had a shortcut tab and I see what you are talking about now. That doesn't work when you use the original IE desktop icon. Inside -- The HarmyBoard HarmDrive

If it is a shortcut icon, it will have a little arrow in the bottom left of the icon. If it is the actual icon for the program, it won't have that little arrow.

I'm surprised you have a shortcut icon for IE, because when you install Windows, it puts a real icon for IE on your desktop for you. Most other programs put only shortcut icons on your desktop.

I actually don't use a desktop icon at all, I use quicklaunch. But regardless of where I launch IE, even from the program menu, I always get the same tabs. Maybe that is a difference created by Vista? Sorry I couldn't help. After all, we always want to launch Harm in his largest possible state! ;)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> I don't use Vista either. The quicklaunch would be a shortcut icon, so that would definitely explain why your menu is the way you say. Anyway, it doesn't matter because I wasn't the one with the problem anyway. lol I actually prefer my browser windows to open up in the "sized" form the way I made them. I think once bama maximizes her window it should open up that way in the future. I initially was under the impression that she was maximizing her window but it was still opening up resized the next time, but I don't think that was actually the case. -- JJ (Ronda), 04:57:09 09/11/09 Fri [1]
