How To Stop Internet Explorer 11 Prompting To Display Full-screen Mode

Is there a way to stop the desktop version of Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1 from prompting whether you want a website to display content in full-screen mode?
When it displays the prompt "Do you want to view youtube.com in full screen?  (Press Esc to exit.)", if you select 'Always Allow', it doesn't permanently remember this setting, as it will be reset when the browsing history is deleted. 
Surely there must be a setting somewhere to prevent it from displaying this prompt every time?

In fact, I suspect it is something that a Flash programmer would know but YouTube would know for that reason.
Robert Aldwinckle
I disagree, as far as I'm concerned it's a Microsoft problem, not a Flash programmer problem. In fact, more specifically it's an Internet Explorer 11 problem, as it doesn't occur in IE10 and before. And it's not a problem specific to YouTube either as it
doesn't just occur on YouTube, it happens on other sites as well.
It almost seems as though Microsoft changed something in IE11 and forgot to put a setting in either the Internet Zone Settings, Advanced Internet Options or IE Group Policy settings.  Something along the lines of:
Allow display of full-screen content
Enable
Disable
Prompt (Default)
Meanwhile, unless there's a setting somewhere to disable the prompts that I can't find, the end user has to put up with these stupid prompts with no way of permanently disabling them?  What was wrong with how it was before with just a semi-transparent
message that faded out after a couple of seconds which said "Press ESC to exit full screen mode"?  Why the need for an annoying distracting prompt that requires user interaction as well?  And even if there is a reason (which I'd be fine with), why
is there no option to disable it like you can with other prompts?
If it's something that a Flash programmer would know, then maybe someone needs to let Microsoft's own Flash programmer's know about it:

    Hi Mike,
    >>Basically i want all users to get restricted to IE9.
    Internet Explorer 10 will be available as an “Important” update through the Automatic Update feature of Windows Update. Users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, who have opted to
    download and install updates automatically through Windows Update (recommended setting), will automatically be upgraded to Internet Explorer 10.
    However, we can prevent users from upgrading to IE 10 via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
    Regarding how to prevent users from upgrading to IE10 or IE11, the following two articles can be referred to for more information.

  • How do I get online help to display full screen when opened?

    I'm working in RoboHelp HTML 8 developing
    WebHelp. My client wants the help to display full screen (100%) when it's
    opened.
    How do I accomplish this?
    Thanks

    If your just opening the html file from a link within your site, then you could code the link to open in a new window at full size. This is not done through RH, but instead on the site where its linking to your webhelp index.html page. Its relatively simple, and you can customise things like viewable buttons, scroll bars etc etc.

  • 3G Nano: How do I get my photos to display full-screen?

    Hi,
    I have a 3G Nano.
    When I go into PHOTOS the left 1/2 of the screen is always taken up by the menu selections and I have not yet figured out how to get the photos to display full screen. What am I doing wrong?
    Please excuse... this is my first iPod...

    Select "All Photos" from the menu to the left of those half pictures. Press the center button and you will get "thumb nails of your photos. Run your finger around the touch wheel and a yellow box will highlight the picture. If you start with the first picture and press the center button again you will bring up a full screen pict. To go to the next pict use the touch wheel in a clockwise manner to see each pict. Go to back to the photo menu and go to settings to try out some neat tricks and even add music. Don't ever be worried about asking a question. The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask! I got my nano yesterday and I have some questions that the "help" didn't address also

  • Any way to get Illustrator CS5 to display full screen mode like Photoshop?

    Is there any way to get Illustrator's screen modes to behave like Photoshop's screen modes?
    One of the things I like most about Photoshop is the way it toggles from standard screen mode to "full screen with menu bar" to just "full screen".
    For example, in Photoshop's standard mode, the window is no bigger than the size of the canvas. Why can't Illustrator do that?
    And, is there anyway to get Illustrator CS5 to display the full screen mode where the background outside the artboard or canvas is black instead of white. Working in Illustrator for long hours, it would much easier on my eyes if the surrounding background could be black like in Photoshop.
    Thanks very much in advance for any help,
    - Nick

    At the bottom of the Tool bar is a toggle button (F) which will change the Screen Mode.

  • How to change a dialog box to its ' full-screen' mode ?

    There is a dialog box in an application I am writting currently using swing.
    The question is, how can I change it to ' full screen ' mode and switch it back to its normal mode ?

    To that purpose, you might make use of myDialog.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());Hope this helps even though it is not 'true' full-screen. As far as I know, it's as close as you'll get.

  • How to add project, folder or album in full screen mode

    I love the full screen mode but I do need to go back (F) to "normal" mode for library changes like adding a new album, folder or project.
    All other library functions do work like move projects into folder etc.
    The function is shown in "inspector" (right mouse button) but you can not select the function.
    Is this not supported like the faces and places "button" in full screen mode as i learned reading this forum?

    If you close Firefox while in full screen mode then Firefox should start the next time in full screen mode as well.
    If that doesn't happen the see:

  • How do i show my bookmark toolbar during full screen mode?

    When entering full screen mode the bookmark toolbar disappears, then reappears when exiting full screen mode. I have tried to use the customize screen/menu and selecting the option for the bookmarks toolbar does nothing to show the toolbar during full screen use.
    No, I don't want to use the sidebar while in full screen mode either which is why I have items in the bookmarks toolbar and not in the sidebar.
    thank you

    For additional reference I am attaching screenshots of the folderpath, file, coding in the first image,
    A shot of the full screen in action with the css file in place,
    And a shot of the customize window showing that bookmarks toolbar is indeed selected but not visible during fullscreen,
    The fourth shot is FF OUT of full screen mode back in the customize screen but it shows the bookmarks toolbar

    how to install internet explorer 8 in windows 8 pc.

    Hi,
    Internet Explorer 8 is not compatible to install in Windows 8/8.1 PC.
    As Rob suggested, we could use Internet Explorer 10 (In Windows 8) or Internet Explorer 11 (In Windows 8.1) developer tools to emulate IE8,
    Using the F12 developer tools; Or build a Virtual Machine.
    Besides, here is the download page:
