• How to get a desktop icon to open enlarged using IE8?

  OK, I'm back with the eternal question. How can I get an icon of Web site that is saved on my desktop to open in a maximized State? I'm using IE8 and Vista 64-bit. Internet Explorer window opens now enlarged very well, but all of the icons that I save on my desktop have no function enlarge when I right click the icon. All previous efforts such as you drag the image up, then close it while holding down the control key didn't work. I installed a third-party program, "Autosizer", which works fine until the last round of Windows updates. Now it has compatibility problems, so I had to uninstall this program. Microsoft has a fix yet? Help, please.

  Charita142,

  This procedure works perfectly for almost any version of Windows, including Windows 7. I just bought a computer with Windows 7 and had the same problem, but I set myself for this procedure. Here it is again. This should do it for you as long as long as you follow the steps correctly. Now all Windows IE to open come expanded no matter what I use to open them. I use the right-click of the links opening in a new window all the time and now they are all open. It is true of all the desktop icons that I do for Web pages as well as for all the shortcuts located in the taskbar. Everything works fine now. The funny part is that the solution to this problem is exactly the same as it was for XP or Vista. I think we just were we not followed the steps correctly, but in any case, here is the solution:

  Open a Web page. Soft at full size. Do not use to maximize.
  Choose any link on this Web page and right click > open in a new window.
  Stretch this second window to the size desired-do not use maximize.
  Close the first window of IE. Then close this second resized window.

  This is exactly as it was in previous versions of Windows. It worked perfectly for me. Good luck with it.

  3 proposals:

  1 rebuild the icon cache. Yours could be damaged.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html
  Use the Option One. It is easier.

  2 restore explorer.exe
  Press CTRL + Alt + Del > Task Manager > Procesess tab > right click on explorer.exe > click on end process > Applications tab > new task... > in the Open box, type explorer.exe > OK.

  Check your desktop icons.

  3. If this problem is recent, and if you remember a date where worked the icons on your desktop, and then do a system restore.
  Choose a date where the desktop icons worked as your restore point.

• 1055 IDeskjet & I'm unable to open the icon for it on my desktop. My computer is a Compaq

  My product is a J410e Deskjet 1055.  My OS is Windows 7.  I buy a new computer about a year ago & I don't remember having problems like the one I have now with my old computer.  This computer had a Windows XP operating system.  I'm trying to find how to find information telling me what my ink levels.  I tried to open this product on my desktop icon, but it does not open.  I uninstalled the software for this product & re-installed two different times of the disc that came with the printer, but I still have the problem.

  I would try uninstalling software and download the drivers from the Hp website.

  Drivers software & when selecting drivers choose features full download.
