Change IE 7's print preview default?

[pjs]

(Running IE 7 on Windows XP)



On my computer, the default size for IE 7's Print Preview is "Shrink To Fit"

Is it possible to change the default to 100% instead? If not, any way to

write a macro to do this?



Many thanks,



pjs

It turns out that you actually CAN do this with a registry change:

___________________________________________

Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl



Add the following key:

FEATURE_STF_Scale_Min



In that key, add the following DWORD value:

iexplore.exe



Set its value for 64 (hexadecimal) [the same as 100 decimal]

_____________________________________________



After adding this key, whenever I call Print Preview it now opens at 100%.



Cheers,



pjs
