Title: Accessing OE from IE 7 Homepage
Post by: Old_Soldier on November 21, 2006, 01:08:36 PM

 Downloaded and installed IE 7.  Taskbar is not present when IE 7 is opened to my home page at full screen and I cannot find the IE, OE and Show Desktop icons with the pointer as I could with IE 6.  Must I minimize 7 to jump to OE?  Or am I missing something?   :-? Thanks.

 Old_Soldier.......  Does it display ok when you just have it set to Maximize as opposed to full screen ?

I had IE 7 installed for a few days ..... but I really didn't like it , so I reverted back to IE 6 ......... There have been many complaints about the latest version of IE 7 ...... I would hope that MS fix the issues with it .

Nothing new about that.  The full screen mode in IE 6 and IE 5.5 also covers the taskbar.

I presume you're talking about the Quick Launch toolbar.  Since it's on the taskbar, then obviously it is also hidden if you put IE in full screen display.

NB: The keyboard shortcut to go in and out of fullscreen (a.k.a. 'kiosk mode') is F11.

My IE 6 task bar is not hidden in full screen mode :-?
I can 'grab' it with my mouse & pull it down so it can't be seen.
Move your mouse to the very bottom of the screen & see if the curser turns into a double arrow.

IE really does not have a "task bar", does it?  Isn't the lower part of the IE window called the Status Bar?  So, do you really mean Windows taskbar?  If so, I find I can't make Windows taskbar stay on top with IE in full screen mode.

Soybean has the good oil, the taskbar is the 'desktop' taskbar, but I can drag mine up or down with the mouse in fullscreen (IE6) mode.
