SYMPTOMS
When you try to configure Internet Explorer to start in Full Screen mode on the Advanced tab of the Internet Options tool, the following options are missing:
 * Launch Channels in full screen window
 * Launch browser in full screen window



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because these options are no longer available in Internet Explorer 5.

NOTE: Internet Explorer 5 starts in Full Screen mode if you quit the previous session of Internet Explorer while you were in Full Screen mode.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure Internet Explorer for Full Screen mode, and then close it. For information about how to configure Internet Explorer for Full Screen mode, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

197029 How to Configure Internet Explorer 5 for Full Screen Mode



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Internet Explorer 5 no longer uses either of the Full Screen mode options that were available in Internet Explorer 4.x. When you start Internet Explorer, it retains the state of the last Internet Explorer window that you closed.
