Window size

[anonymous41111]

I like the system to always display a page in full size.

At times I need to reduce the size of the windows I'm
working with, in order to display 2 or 3 windows at the
same time on the screen's desktop.

Once I'm finished, I would like the system to open windows
in full size but it doesnt; the system always 'remembers'
the size of the window when it was in a reduced state. If
I close a window in full size, the system continues
opening pages in the reduced size.

How can I make the system to always open windows in full
size?

I don't know that you can alter the normal behavior of the application
opening in its last remembered window state, aside from running something in
the background that's constantly changing some registry values that store
the window state for each application. One thing that may be enough for you
is to modify all the shortcuts you use to open the program in question to
launch the applications maximized. The "Run" setting on the Shortcut tab of
the shortcut properties dialog lets you specify Maximized, Normal
(remembered), or Minimized.

Ray,

Thanks for your reply; could you please tell me wher do I find th "Run"
setting on the Shortcut tab of the shortcut properties dialog?"

One would thought that the application could offer users the ability to set
the state (mini/max) the windows are opened.

If any from MS reads this, this is something you need to consider.

Thanks for your reply, Ray

If you have a shortcut on your desktop for example, right click it, and
click properties. Look on the shortcut tab. If the shortcut is for an
Office application, all this stuff may be disabled, because those shortcuts
are "special" shortcuts that work with auto-repair features in Office. I
personally delete all those nonsense shortcuts and create my own new
shortcuts directly to outlook.exe, excel.exe, etc. And then I am able to
set the window state for those applications as well.
