Opening screen full size

[Dee Randall]

All my windows screens opens in partial screen necessitating each time I
open a new screen to click on the maximize --

I can't seem to locate the instructions to get everything to open in
maximize (full screen) first.

I've seen it on TechTV and it was on Tools, but I can't find it now.

I've looked thru everything. Hope you can help.
Thanks, Dee

The easieat way is to resize it to full-screen in the minimised state, hold
down Control, then close it.
The next time you open it, you'll find that new size has 'stuck'.

There is no such setting. Never has been, never will be. It's called WINDOWS for a reason. It wasn't called SINGLESCREEN for a reason. Programs control themselves. If they don't then it will be a normal (note it's called NORMAL) window.

Programs set their own sizes. They may save it, they may leave it up to windows. No program I write will ever be full screen. Because my program shouldn't go and cover other programs.

Deppending on how a program is started, the starting program can specify the subsequent program's window state, and windows will use this and override the programs attempt to size the window once (of course the program can just set it's size twice to override).

First, *close all other windows*. Now, grab the corners of the window
and drag it to full screen size. Close the window using File>Close,
or File>Exit depending what program you're in. Windows will remember
the last screen size used the next time you open the program.

Dear johnf,
This is so easy and it works!
My appreciation,
Dee

This is what I had been doing previously, but it didn't work anymore for me,
so I thought there is a setting I could change. The TV program TechTV
posted it on their site at one time, but I can't find it.

BUT, johnf's posting works easily and marvelously.

David - Take a deep breath, sit down and relax for
awhile. It'll be OK . . .
