Control Panel opens minimized

[Guest]

When I open the control panel, it open minimized. If I maximize, expand the
columns and then close with file, close, it will stay maximized for several
more times, then go back to minimized with the columns closed. What do I need
to do to fix this forever. Thanks for helping solve a minor irritant.

Try instead of using the maximize button, placing your pointer on the
corner/s and dragging it to full size. Then hold down the ctrl key and
click the close (X) button and see if it will continue to open to the size
you dragged it to.

Thanks, that seems to fix the problem for now. One wonders what controls such
things.

I spoke to quickly, the problem reappears on reboot.
