IE6 Window Resize Prob HELP !!

ccsnet · 08-20-2004, 01:22 PM

Hi all having a big prob. Need to reset the default new window size in IE - went on a site yesterday and its gone wonky ie:-

Done the web setting reset via the IE setting screen and even :-

"Sometimes Internet Explorer 5 or later "decides" to remember the wrong size for a new window. Whatever you do, you can't seem to get it to remember a normal size.

You can fix this:

Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

Go to the "Start menu" and choose "Run" Type --- regedit and press enter or click "OK".

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main
Delete the value Window_Placement
Exit the Registry Editor."

Still not joy.

Idealy I'd like to do a profile reset of some kind but not sure how.

Any help would be apprciated before I scream !

TIA Terran

Sussed - close all windows, open new window from the main ie icon. ( Lets call that Win A ) right click and do new window on a link ( lets call this one Win B ) to create a New window ( lets call this one Win C ). Close Win A, then Win C and then Win B. Re open IE and test by right click new window and sussed.

Phew - Bet that ones not in the MS Knowllage Base lol

It's a lot easier than that.
Close all IE windows.
Open 1.
resize it to what you want.
Close it.
Fixed

You'd think so... tried this as normal - didn't work... very strange.
