maximize, minimize

I am unable to keep the window maximized. When I open a window I want to see
it maximized to full screen so I have to click the button at top of screen
but it is not remembering this and will always open up a small screen again.
What setting can I use to fix this?

Adjust the window (with only one window open) how you want it to be. Close
the window. Reopen and it should be full size.

Thanks for taking time to answer, but I had tried that already. Problem is
it is not remembering the settings. The support people here now believe it is
a registery problem, but really are just guessing.

One program, at least, Internet Explorer, will not remember Maximized. The suggested
workaround is to expand it by dragging to the largest size you can and then close it with
<ctl-(X)> (the (X) meaning the window quit button. With luck, the window will keep opening
to that size even if you have changed it during a session.

I haven't tried this on other programs, but let me know if it works. I am not fond of
maximized (it makes my hidden toolbars inaccessible).

There is a program called Actual Window Manager which offers considerable control over
windows (opening, closing state; transparency; roll-up; minimize to an icon; etc. All on a
program-by-program basis. I find it really helpful. Check it out at
