This was answered in a techrepublic email newsletter a few days ago [around feb 14]. I have lost the info. How do you resize the size of windows when you click a link. I want make the windows to appear 40 by 160.

There is an option in internet properties concerning that.... It should be in there somewhere.

Hope this helps..

First create a stylesheet by saving a page in IE that is the size you wish. Then under internet options, select accessibility and check the "use stylesheet" box, specifying the .css file you saved.

If you don't mean in internet explorer- then you can edit the box size under the registry, hkey current user- console- window size.

I first tried this in the registry, I do not understand how you explain it in IE. I regedit, h-key current user, control panel, desktop, window metrix , i changed cap width to 40, cap height to -165, i close registry and restart pc. here is what happened, the icons in my sys tray became the size of a small dot. my in tention was to make windows open to the size of 2 inches by 4 inches high. It worked the first time i did it last week, but not now. The Registry is a dangerous area to fiddle around with if you are not in the know.
