    Is there a way for application windows to open up maximized?


    For example, Notepad. When I double-click on its icon, is there a way to have it open up maximized (taking up the entire screen).

    Hi s35, try this:

    Create a shortcut to the app you want to open maximised (if not already created one)
    Right Click>Properties on the shortcut
    Select "Maximised" from the drop down list under Run
    Ta da!
