I hit some wrong key combination, and...

...now the web window fills the entire screen and all the function tabs across the top and task bar at the bottom are out in space somewhere.

How do I undo this? Running WindowsXP.

Hit "CNTRL - " (the control button and the minus key together) to zoom out.

It makes the size of everything ...fonts, etc. ...every item on the page... smaller and larger, but the borders of the web window is still out to the edge.

Wait... I just hit maximize after hitting CTRL + 0 and that fixed it.

Thanks.

You might want to avoid using the keys with letters on them.

JE9, are you clumsily stumbling towards your "falling on my sword -- goodbye forever, everyone" moment, or is today a special occasion?

Yep, it is. Just tried it. It toggles back and forth when you press F11.

Reminds me of the time my Daughter was 2 and started playing the keys like Moon on the drums...a very strange website opened and I am not sure but it was either a portal to another universe or a very bored techno geek...I wish I saved the link. I'm sure there is a cool story to be written along that theme...

Please let him. Although it was a pretty mild rebuke.

This happens to my mom all the time. I tell her to pick up the monitor and shake it a few times to reset it. Kind of like an etch-a-sketch.
