I remember Kim Komando describing a trick (key combinations that I have now
forgotten) to open windows in full screen using XP. Is there such a thing in
Vista?
Thank you for your time
Many application have a short cut tab. For example if you have a
shortcut for IE7 on your desktop right click it, then Properites. On
the short cut tab under run it probably says Normal Window. Click on
the little down pointing arrow and chage to Maxamized. Now click on
Apply, then finally click ok. Now click on the short cut again. IE7
should now open full screen every time.
There have been several "bugs" related to this feature that go back
several versions of Windows, so it doesn't always work for all
applications or sometimes Windows just forgets and revents back to old
habits. There is a similar way to resize how Windows open at by
default. Just click minimize instead of maxamize and resize by
dragging a corner of the window to the new size you want. Again
sometimes it works, other times it just don't take, sometimes it
forgets. I'm surprised they haven't made a funny Mac commerical about
this Windows misbehaving "feature".
