Outlook opens in a small window

[JnVGray]

This is probably easy to fox but I can't figure it out. When I open Outlook
(2007) or restore it from being minimized it opens in a small window and I
have to click maximize every time. This didn't happen until I installed
Windows 7. Any suggestions?

Right click on the Outlook icon on your desktop and select Properties and in the Run
box select Maximized. Hit Apply and back out. Open Outlook. Does it open maximized

Do you want it maximized or just bigger?

The usual fix is to resize the window & close it. An old Windows trick for
setting window sizes also works with Outlook 2007: hold down the shift key
and double click in the top left corner of the window. This will close the
window and when you reopen, it should remember the size and location.

You need to verify that outlook closed completely in task manager, processes
tab. If it's left running, its being forced closed and the changes won't
stick.
