Also some code to check the actual size: (Works in IE4)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Check the Resolution</TITLE>
<SCRIPT ID=clientEventHandlersJS LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function koos_onclick() {
	alert ("Height = " + window.document.body.offsetHeight)
	alert ("Width = " + window.document.body.offsetWidth)
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<p id="koos" LANGUAGE=javascript onclick="return koos_onclick()"
style="cursor:hand">Click to check The Resolution</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Well just to compliment the reply from "the web center" I've included a
piece of javascript (I can't remember from where I got it) which shows
how
to control the toolbar region so that you can tweak up the browsers
until
they match.

window.open('filename.html','toolbar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,margi
nhei
ght=0,marginwidth=0,status=no,width=790,height=526,left=0,top=0,screenx=
0,sc
reeny=0');
