Dear Geeks,

If you are able, please help with the following requests ( OS: XP Pro ),

(1) There is a constant need to maximize to full screen when clicking from
one website to another. This is done by clicking on Full Screen, F11 or
Maximize. Can it be set permanently to full screen? Please let me know
all the well-defined steps to do so.

(2) Please let me know by well-defined steps on how to remove some or all
entries accumulated and shown when the search bar ( long main
rectangular bar ) of Google Search is used. This is not referring to
Favourites.

Thanks and bye.

IE7 unlike Firefox "autohides" its Tabs in kiosk (F11) mode but these can be brought into view by simply moving the mouse cursor to the top of the screen. Use Firefox if you want them on view all the time.

Use the middle mouse button (or right click and choose new Tab) when clicking on links and the pages will always open in a new Tab. Opening in a new window will lose the kiosk mode of the current kiosk.

There may be another approach or IE setting that I haven't come across.

For IE7 > Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Forms.
Close.

when typing in the google search bar, it drops down with a list trying to help you out with possible matches, or previous solutions. at the bottom of this drop down list, there is in blue underlined letters that say something like "clear previous searches"
