Off topic but when I open the
forum webpage (and any other) in IE it opens minimised !
Any clues how to reset it to open full screen ?

Have you tried clicking on the 'restore to full screen' button top right corner immediately to the left of the RED X the Close button. That should do it.

Geetee,
To fix this close all open IE browsers. Then open one it should open minimised, then restore it to the size you want and close it using the X. Now it should be fixed and when you open another window it will open to the size you selected.

Hi GeeTee,
Try positioning your mouse in the diagonal corner and while holding left click on the mouse drag to size required. Once done close window and re-open. It should then open to that size.

GeeTee,
If the window was closed when it was minimised Microsoft programs such as IE, Word etc. will usually remember this and make it the default size when you next open that window.

Not really OT. When you mean Minimised I take it you mean not full screen, Minimised meand it is basicly hidden by clicking the -- in the top right corner, but if you mean half the screen size then I too have the same with EO and have click the square in the top right corner, ...everytime. I have been searching in the settings but no luck yet.
I have a Wide screen , maybe it's because David's setup is still set for square monitors , because I have a blue unused section each side of the EO panel
