I'm done with my movie and I'd like to show it without having any frame
around it (like you have with Wondows Media Player)--I only want the movie on
the screen. Does anyone know how best to do this?

Thanks.

Michele, when you are in Windows Media Player, just right click in the window
that is playing. From there you can choose FULL SCREEN, and it plays full
screen on your computer. To take it off, just right click again and choose
a different size; then you can close it out. Happy viewing.

One thing to note is that after it goes full screen it still shows a
border on top and bottom for a short while and then these borders slide
away. You should not leave your mouse cursor on the top or bottom edge
otherwise these borders remain on screen.

That is true Rehan, and I am very used to leaving the cursor in the middle
of the screen. But that little procedure still bugs the hell out of me!!
