I seldom use IE anymore, but when I have to, it always opens in full screen. How can I stop this? Thanks.

Use F11 key to toggle between full screen & non-full screen.

Thanks for the fast response. Yeah, I know F11, but I'm trying to keep it from opening in full screen. I don't think it used to do this.

Alright you can also force it by modifying the registry following this tip. Always backup the registry before you start working under XP hood.

JohnO, Another thing to try is to right click on the IE shortcut (Quick Launch& Start>Programs), choose Properties, and change the Run box to Normal using the drop-down arrow button, click Apply/OK.
