    Everything is opening MAXIMIZED, how do I fix this?


    Suddenly every single program is opening maximized, even items that normally can't. Don't know why it started and reverting back to older restore point did not correct it. All I can find are threads where people are TRYING to get this behavior - I need it to STOP. Any ideas?

    Right click which ever programs shortcut and right click again on the name of the program and click on Properties,
    Shortcut section,
    Near the bottom Run is this set on Normal window or Maximized ?
