Solved Folders won't open to full screen

[cinque8]

Hello,

I run Windows 7 on my HP laptop. I guess that I must have accidentally clicked a setting with my mouse or something. Normally when I open a folder, it opens to 100% screen size. But now when I open a folder,
for some reason it only opens to about 75% screen size. Is there some way that I can correct this and get my folders to go back to opening 100% screen size?

Thank you

Hi,

Try post #6 here. There's also a short discussion on "snapping" a window to maximize it, but doing it that way doesn't always hold.

Maximizing, Restoring, and Minimizing Windows

You can maximize a window by dragging and dropping its title bar, too. Just drag and drop it to the top edge of the screen. . You’ll see a preview of the shape the window will become. Release your mouse button and the window will take up the entire screen. When you grab the title bar with your mouse and drag it away from the top of the screen, the window will be restored to its previous size.

With keyboard shortcuts, you can press Windows Key + Up arrow to maximize a window or press Windows Key + down arrow to restore a maximized window. Press Windows Key + down arrow again to minimize a window.

You're welcome, that's great to hear you're okay now. Which solution helped, using the file explorer shortcut setting or "snap"?
