Stupid Win98 Question
« on: October 27, 2003, 06:33:24 PM »
I let my neice use my computer to do some stuff and now all my settings have gone wacko. How do you make a window open Maximized (not FS)? For some reason I can't find the setting and all my windows are opening half sized. I Thank You for in advance for the help guys.

click the middle box in the upper right hand corner to maximize and after that it should do it all the time

bottom right corner of the window. Your cursor will turn into a little diagonal double ended arrow. Drag it out to the size you want all windows to open.  Release the left mouse button and BAM. All windows will open that size.

Open a command prompt

Type "format C:"

when asked if you are sure type "y"

Then install a real OS

Right click on the IE shortcut, select the shortcut tab, go to the "run in" box, pull it down to maximized.
