How do i make internet explorer not start in full screen mode?

click F11

click on the box to the left of the red x at the top to the right. You can then resize the window. Close IE then open again.

I believe the button F11 would help.

press F11 it puts it in fullscreen and when it already is in full screen it tkes it out it may work

Periodically, Internet Explorer (IE) forgets the settings for its window size and decides to open in an annoying small window. If you close all other IE windows that might be open, resize the small window (do not maximize) and then close it, IE is supposed to remember that it was resized when you next open it. But sometimes it goes right ahead and opens in a small window again. In that case, there are several methods to try. Resize (with only one window open) and then close by clicking the X in the upper right corner while holding down the Shift key. Often this works but it may not. If the above does not work, your next step is to try the two-window method. Open a single IE window (which is presumably still too small) Now open a secondary IE window by either right-clicking or shift-clicking on any convenient link in the open IE window Resize this second window to the desired dimensions Close this resized window by clicking the X in the upper right corner while holding down the Shift key Resize the still open original window as desired Close this window by clicking the X in the upper right corner while holding down the Shift key If you do not mind always having maximized IE windows, another approach is to edit the IE shortcut. Right-click on the shortcut that you use for IE and choose properties in the context menu. In the drop-down menu for "Run" select "Maximized". (Secondary IE windows will not inherit this setting).
