Making folders come up Full Screen

popporge. If you don't have a Shortcut Tab when you right click on the Icon on your Desktop & select Properties, then the program is in your Desktop Library.

To fix this locate your Desktop Folder which is located under Favourites. Open it & find the program that is in question & right click on the program itself & on the drop down menu select Send To Desktop (create shortcut) & this will put a new Icon on your desktop. Now if Right Click on that Icon & select Properties you should have a Shortcut Tab.

When you have got all that working you can delete the old Icon from your desktop.

On my PC:

• Windows sometimes ignores the "Maximized" setting
• Window Snapping sometimes confuses Windows ("Show windows stacked" is particularly bad for this)

Also note there's a difference between Full Screen and Maximized. Full Screen is accomplished by pressing F11, gets rid of most of the Toolbars to give as large a view as possible. Pressing F11 again returns to previous view.

Thanks Berton. :)

I'd never tried that in Windows Explorer.
It never even occurred to me to do so.

And there it was a communication, or should I say wording issue on your part. Your title says folders, then you change the story to icons, they are 2 separate things. As explained some programs open in a window that can not be changed. I hope your issue has been resolved :)
