hello,

is there a way to change the default view size of 100% to 150%?

maybe there is a registry change or something that can make
the larger setting default to 150% when the browser is opened.

thanks.

yeh, the feature to reset / customize the size is only temporary.

i'd like to find a more permanent solution, like a registry setting.

have thought about a script or macro, but ie keeps defaulting to the100%
view when creating a new tab instance.

i wonder if modifing the ini file would work?

but i think it might be better at the registry level....

if you come up with any idea-ers let me kno...!

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

well, took a chance and search the registry.

i finally came across these sub keys
under their parent internetexplorer key:

resettextsizeonstartup

and

resetzoomonstartup

and changed their values from 1 to 0.

seems like this modification does the trick
with keeping the custom size permanently
set.

thanks for your help.

Now, which of the applications I cited in my previous reply was responsible
for setting those values to 1 in the first place?

If /any/ of those applications were running when you installed IE7, you may
have other problems...
