When you start up IE7 and click F11, the window goes full screen. But when you create another window with CTRL N, and press F11, the new window doesn't go full screen. Is there a fix for this bug?

Using the Full Screen Feature In Internet Explorer & Firefox

Hi! I'm Gary for Expert Village. Let's see how to open up Internet Explorer into a full screen and that will give us more of a viewing area. That will take away all of our tool bars and we will be able to see more of a page on our screen. What we do is simply go up to view and in the menu option on the bottom, you will see that we have an option to view it in full screen. If we click on that, you will see now that our web page has increased to full size and if we put our cursor up to the top, automatically are our tool bar appears and we are able to type in new pages. There is an option to have a web page run in a full screen size without any tool bars without any status bar even on the bottom. The way to do that is we would click on run and we are going to type in a web page and we are going to set the parameter that it should open up in a full size. This usually called a kiosk mode if you want to have it running for any kind of presentation. That it should just be running in full size all the time. What we would do is type in I Explorer which is the name Explorer uses as the EXI file and then we put a space dash K for kiosk and we put a space with the name of the web page. And we will see that one the page loads with that setting, we will see that it comes up as a full sized web page. Here we are viewing CNN and we don't have any kind of tool bars or task bars. If we go up, they don't appear. It's just the full sized screen for this web page. If we want to browse or go to another page, what we can do is we can right click a link and we will have the option to open up that link in a new browser. We see that it says open in a new window. We have the option to open that link in a new window. If we just right click, the menu will appear, open in new window and if we click on that we are going to have a new browser open up. The only way to close that window in kiosk mode is there is no way to click on anything. To close it we press alt button and F4 at the same time. We hold down the alt key and then hit F4 and that window will close.
