Re: Web hyperlinks: default browser and resulting browser window size?

Hi David,

Thanks for the tip. I have successfully used the first suggested
solution, it works just fine.

Strange thing is, my WinXP SP2 cratered a few days ago - when booting
is announced it could not find a file called 'hal.dll' and just
stopped. This is the first problem I have had with XP, so compared to
W9X it is a great improvement. No idea why this happened and have
restored/rebuilt the OS and all works just fine.

Why am I telling you this? Well, before the cratering of XP, my
hyperlinks would open an IE page, nicely sized to just frame the
requested Yahoo Finance chart. Now it doesn't. I guess I just wish I
knew how it used to work!!

Anyway, had a look at your FireFox page. I still have some "issues"
with opening IE-type pages in FireFox. The only extension that seems
to work almost all the time is the "IE Tab" extension.

Well, thanks again for the assistance.

Good luck,

Geoff.
