Activate the IE browser Full Screen feature using a Windows Registry option

There is an option at Windows Registry that makes the Internet Explorer run at Full Screen. It will enable Full Screen display - a nice to have feature for “Touch” sensitive Tablet computers.

Here’s how to use the feature at Windows Registry.

Open the Registry Editor by typing “regedit” at start menu search or Run Window (Winkey + R) and proceed to the registry folder below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Double-click the value name FullScreen and use the data value “yes” to activate the feature and “no” to disable – That’s it!

Using RegDevelop to add the function and create your own TweakUI application

Simply drag and drop the CheckBox control as shown and use the settings below:
