    How to set maximized windows


    Got several programs that always open somewhere between maximized and minimized, so I have to click to fully open every time.
    I would prefer to start them maximized always.
    Others remember the last setting, but not all...
    Can that be set?

    If you held Ctrl down as you clicked the red X it sets the window to what size it was.

    Create a shortcut to your program you want always to open maximized. Tutorial: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...r-program.html

    Now right click the newly created shortcut and select Properties from context menu to open shortcut properties dialog:

    Go to Shortcut tab, select Run: Maximized, click Apply to save settings, click OK to close Properties:

    Now whenever you run the program from its shortcut, it will open on maximized window.
