    Change settings so that all programs/shortcuts/windows open maximized


    Hi SevenForums,

    I know about the option to change the "Properties" of a program/shortcut, and select "Run->Maximized." However, to change all my programs it would be time-consuming to change it for each individual one. I was wondering if there was a settings/registry that changed all my programs/shortcuts/windows to run Maximized every time, without individually changing each one?

    Thanks.

    Some Alternatives:

    F11 for a real Full Screen (F11 again to restore)
    Windows key + Up arrow to maximize
    Windows key + Down arrow to restore
    Windows key + Left arrow to maximize to left side of screen
    Windows key + Right arrow to maximize to right side of screen
