Services / Event Viewer Windows

[Victor]

I have desktop shortcuts for each of these and have set the properties to
open maximized, but every time I open them they are in a very small window
which is good for nothing. How can I set them to open maximized, or have
them retain their size? Thanks.

I also had this. Microsoft was very lame in their possible solutions
so someone came up with a separate application:

Start -> Run
MMC
File -> Open
%windir%\system32\services.msc
File -> Options
uncheck "Do not save changes to this console"
maximize the window, close it, answer "Yes"

Do so for all MMC plugins you want to have maximized.

by Ramesh Srinivasan


Basically, MMC Windows, save settings:

Add "/a" to path, for example:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe /a C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\gpedit.msc

Opens Group Policy in Author mode, under which you can set column views and window size.
To save your settings: File > Save.
