Hi, Karen.
There are 3 views that are often called "full screen":
1. Maximized - click the square just left of the "X" in the upper right
corner of just about any window (IE or other) to get this. Actually, that
button toggles between Maximized and Restore Down to the previous size.
2. Normal window stretched to cover the entire screen - With the window
not maximized, grab any border with your mouse and drag it to the size you
want - including all the way to the sides and corners.
3. Full screen - Press <F11>. This is what Microsoft calls "Full screen"
and it works in most windows. It stretches the view as far as possible,
even covering the Title Bar and Status Bar. To return, press <F11> again.
Or move your mouse to the top edge for a temporary switch.
These 3 views may look about the same to us humans, but Windows knows the
difference - and behaves differently.

Thanks. I'll ask here. I am using IE9 and would like to know how to
view full screen. When I open IE9's homepage I am only viewing the
screen in the middle of my monitor and I have a border on each side. I
know how to click on the right upper corner for minimize and full screen
when using firefox but I would like to know how to view full screen in IE9.
