When we are checking and doing code and unit testing for SharePoint pages on our Windows Vista machine using Internet Explorer, we configure the browser to a full screen mode (with out navigation bar, command bar, etc.) so we can readily compare the pixel by pixel implementation of the client to ours. Without all the bars on top, the size and width of the browser is consistent from developer to another.
You can enforce that your Internet explorer start on full screen mode by the following steps:
1. Click on the Run button of Windows 7
2. Type the “gpedit.msc” in the text box
3. Go to Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Internet Explorer
4. On the right pane, double-click on the “Enforce Full Screen Mode” and choose on “Enabled”
That should get the internet explorer without the navigation bar, command bar, etc.
