Maximize the Web Browser

When the installer finishes I would like to launch a maximized web browser, and have it be the top most...all the functions i've tried so far always show up in the background.

I've used the script that is SUPPOSE to create a new window, but with firefox it just opens a new tab..So i'm thinking that's why it doesn't become active.

I have the function set to trigger on the
.onInstSuccess

Here is the interent window function I call



Function openLinkNewWindow

  Push $3 

  Push $2

  Push $1

  Push $0

  ReadRegStr $0 HKCR "http\shell\open\command" ""

# Get browser path

    DetailPrint $0

  StrCpy $2 '"'

  StrCpy $1 $0 1

  StrCmp $1 $2 +2 # if path is not enclosed in " look for space as final char

    StrCpy $2 ' '

  StrCpy $3 1

  loop:

    StrCpy $1 $0 1 $3

    DetailPrint $1

    StrCmp $1 $2 found

    StrCmp $1 "" found

    IntOp $3 $3 + 1

    Goto loop

 

  found:

    StrCpy $1 $0 $3

    StrCmp $2 " " +2

      StrCpy $1 '$1"'

 

  Pop $0

  Exec '$1 $0'

  Pop $1

  Pop $2

  Pop $3

FunctionEnd
Anyone know one that will maximize the window?

Thanks

Re: Maximize the Web Browser

Unless I am missing something, why not just do:

ExecShell "open" "http://.. or file://" SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
