Coming from the "She's Actual Size" department, Lockergnomie Jan Horn is making your windows larger (and smaller). Some fool decided that a new IE5 browser window, when launched from an existing session, should take on new dimensions. This is a major annoyance; I found myself spending more time resizing windows than surfing at one point. In a recent issue, I noted a Registry hack download -- but here's an easier way for all of us to get the browser size of our dreams. In the address line of your browser, type: "javascript:resizeTo(800,600);" (without the quotes, still retaining case sensitivity and punctuation). Change those numbers to any two you'd like -- and never be bothered by the size monster again.
