Suppress F8 Function in IE8?

Flightless Bird
In IE8 when you hit the F8 key, it causes the browser to go into
full-screen mode.

Any way to suppress this behavior?

Use Firefox, Opera or Chrome. Internet Exploder is not a recommended
thing to use if you want to keep your computer safe.

Oh, so you're going to continue to use Internet Exploder, eh? It's your
computer so do what you like but don't whine later that you weren't warned.

What does that have to do with his request to prevent the browser from being
in full screen mode.? The F11 key does the same thing in Firefox as well.

Actually that's the F11 key. But why are you hitting it anyway while in IE?
Wouldn't simply not hitting that key while browsing be better anyway?

As I stated, it has to do with security. And, he was talking about the
F8 key that does *nothing* in Internet Exploder.

Depending on the version of Win7 you're running, you can disable it in Group
Policy, IINM.

Its not false, ubuntard.
I use IE exclusively in Windows ... never a problem.
Never.
But I'm sure you can find a link to a few morons who have had a problem.

You're probably infected and part of a net bot and don't even know it.

Sorry , Group Policy is not available in the Home versions.

I'm not on my Win7 PC right now, but will be later. I'll look on it and see
if there's anything else I can find that might help.
