Title: restoring to full screen
Post by: gord on October 07, 2007, 05:42:40 PM

Once in a while I shrink the screen size of a page but then the next time I reopen that page/when I want it to be full size/it will still be the smaller version.  Isn't there a key combination that will restore full screen on first opening the page-so that I don't have to go to the  upper right full size me icon?   Thanks!

Windows remembers window's last size, before closing.

It worked for me to hold down the control key while closing the window with the upper right X
