Setting the size of IE through a third party tool

[foldface]

Hi
I have an IE browser that is being created by Visual Studio, i.e. I'm
doing web development. I want to be able to set the size of the newly created
window via some external means, I don't want to alter the html/code in
anyway, I just want to be able to run a batch file or run an external
application that will let me select the window via any means and set its
size to some number of predefined resolutions, 1024/768, etc.
Are there any third party tools that can do this?

Yes, they are called favelets, and you can find some here

Scroll down till you see the window sizes, rightclick on the
ones you want and save as bookmarks. Next time you want to
resize a window, just click the bookmark in your browser.

Why not just add this JavaScript to a local page on your computer?

<a href="javascript:resizeTo(240,400)">240x320</a> /
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(640,480)">640x480</a> /
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(800,600)">800x600</a> /
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(1024,728)">1024x768</a> /
<a href="javascript:resizeTo(1280,728)">1280x768</a> /

Play with the numbers a bit if you have additional toolbars...

No need for favelets... ;-)

When I used Windows (oh so many years ago) I used an application called
Sizer to do just this.

It resides in your Systemtray and allows you to resize any window to
preset sizes by right-clicking on it (I can't remember exactly where you
have to click, but I think it is the bottom-right corner). It also shows
you the size of any window in a tooltip as you resize it:

that works very nicely, ta
