Hi Ralf,
Thanks for your help but this is way beyond me.
I guess I have to just keep expanding the windows.
Hi Scotti!
I hope I understood well what you like to do. If you start the Explorer with
CreateProcess it works like this:
CreateProcess ( "c:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IExplore.exe", " -K
Page.html", "c:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer", TRUE, FALSE );
I read this thread again and have the impression that you like to open all
Explorer in theatre mode. I got a tip from Rob as follows:
Its the 16 byte in the Theatre array that you change to 00.
The default value for this byte is 1f.
1. Start IE in normal mode. Press F11 to change it to Theatre Mode.
2. Close IE by pressing the "X" button (top right)
3. Open Regedit and go to the "Theatre" value under the Toolbar key and
change the 16th byte to 00. (CurrentUser\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbar)
4. Now when you start IE , even without the -k parameter it should open with
full screen and no toolbars.
If you like to maximize it by another program like the ones proposed I think
they work something like this: (than you wouldn't surch for the title of the
page but for its existence or something else.)
CoInitialize(NULL);
SHDocVw::IShellWindowsPtr m_spSHWinds.CreateInstance ( __uuidof (
SHDocVw::ShellWindows ) );
long nCount = m_spSHWinds->GetCount();
IDispatchPtr spDisp;
for ( long i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
{
_variant_t va ( i, VT_I4 );
spDisp = m_spSHWinds->Item ( va );
SHDocVw::IWebBrowser2Ptr spBrowser ( spDisp );
if ( spBrowser == NULL )
continue;
BOOL bFound = FALSE;
IDispatchPtr pDisp;
HRESULT hr = spBrowser->get_Document ( &pDisp );
if ( SUCCEEDED ( hr ) )
{
IHTMLDocument2Ptr pHtmlPage ( pDisp );
if ( pHtmlPage )
{
CComBSTR bstrTitle, bstrPageTitle ( _T("Page Title" ) );
pHtmlPage->get_title ( &bstrTitle );
if ( bstrTitle == bstrPageTitle )
{
bFoundTouch = TRUE;
spBrowser->put_FullScreen ( true );
return;
}
}
}
}
CoUninitialize();
I guess the Registry tip of Rob is the best for you.
Have fun
Ralf
:
How and where do I do that?
Hi!
The parameter for opening the explorer in full screen (kiosk) mode is "k".
Perhaps you can try this in your program / script.
Cheers

Hi,
If AutoSizer didn't work for you, feel free to uninstall it.
If resizing and closing in order doesn't continue to work, you could try the
REG file or delete the registry key mentioned at

I just did it again and I think it is now working. At least it did on the
one link I knew
was there?
Hi,
The important step is to close the IE windows in order- first (parent)
window then second (child) window. Did you close them in that order?
I did as you said I closed them with Control/Close but went I went back
they were still
small.
I installed AutoSizer but the second windows were still small in
Internet
Explorer.
Should I try the jiisoft.com site and if I do should I uninstall
AutoSizer?
Hi,
To get full-sized (but not maximized) windows...
Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.
Choose any link on that webpage and right-click> open in a new window.
Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use
maximize.
Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.
To always get a true maximized window...

I would like Ecplorer to open up secondary screens in full size.
I did expand them and closed them by using the File/Close instead of
the X
but they still
open up in normal view. What else can I do on this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Have a good day!
