With Windows XP, when you used to press F11 it would go full screen (unlike Windows 7 which still displays the top bar) and you could still access the menu with the alt + keystroke. It worked beautifully.
I was wondering if there was a way to do this in Explorer 2?
xplorer2 doesn't support full screen mode. At a stretch you can also lose the menu bar, if you need the extra line (use Actions > Advanced settings menu)
