The icons I save on the desktop open only in half display. Then I have to maximize. In WinXP you expand once and that solves it. What about Win7?

Hello Budburn,

Usually they will open the same way as they were last closed.

If these are shortcuts, then you might right click on one, click Properties and Shortcut tab, select "Maximized" for the Run option, and click on Ok to see if that may help.

Hope this helps, :)
