Does anyone know how to get this to come up full screen or to get it moved to the left?

Double click in the grey bit at the top

I'm guessing he means the teeny "Restore Pages" dialogue box at the top right which currently has the focus so he can't double click on the browser top bar to drag it.

You can close Chrome by placing your cursor over the icon in the bottom programme bar & a small preview window will open which has a close X in the corner.

I can close it down. What I want to do is make the window full screen as how it is cuts off quite a bit on these forums and I can't read everything that's posted.
And on Amazon if something I want to buy is on the right of the screen I can't see all the product information unless I click on it.
I know it's only a small problem but it is really annoying!

shift right click on the icon in the task bar and select maximise, or left click and hold in the area at the top of the window, above "214699" and drag the window to the left.

A) left click and hold the mouse button down, move the mouse around to move the window around the screen. Double click it to make the window full screen.

OR

B) wave mouse pointer at the edge of a window until it turns into two Left <-> Right arrows, left click and hold the mouse button down, move the mouse left and right to make the window wider / narrower. Combine with the left click, hold, move in A) to move the window around the screen.

Thanks for the replies but I have found a way around the problem.
If I search on the screen and close it by double clicking to close that window when it comes back to the google chrome window it fills the page.rolleyesconfused

I assume you have a monitor plugged into a laptop. If so, chrome gets confused between screen resolutions but as you have found minimize and maximize sorts it.
