Hello Paul, and welcome to Seven Forums.


You might see if this may help.

• Right click on your Windows Live Mail shortcut, and click on Properties.
• Click on the Shortcut tab.
• To the right of Run, select Minimized from the drop down menu and click on OK.

​

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Ok found the short cut and changed it has you said to minimize but still opens in maximize......Paul...

 

[Brink]

Are you opening WLM from this shortcut?

If so, then reset all folder views to default, and see if it may work afterwards.

Do you have the latest 15.4.3502.0922 version of Windows Live Mail 2011 version installed?

If not, then you might install it to see if it may help.

windows live mail 2011

well just did a new install with windows live mail ver 15.4.3502.0922 still doing the same after re setting to minimize then closing down but still opens in maximize....

 

[Brink]

Umm, ok. As a test, create a new administrator account to see if works properly while logged on to that account.

sorry but being a senior how does one create a administrator account....

 

[Brink]

No problem Ricketts. You can do OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to do so, but just be sure to select (dot) Administrator option.

well I dont know what to thinkdone all that you said but still not fixed still opens in maximize even set at minmize checked with a friend who has windows live mail and his opens in minmize each time all settings are like mine.....

 

[Brink]

I must admit that I'm not sure why your's is doing this. If you installed your Windows 7 with a retail Windows 7 installation DVD, then you can use it to do a repair install. It's a bit more work, but it should be able to fix this without losing anything. Just to be extra safe though, be sure to backup anything that you do not want to lose. A power outage while doing this could lose everything.

Hi ricketts

You might try this, while WLM is open hover over the lower right corner of the window until the little arrow goes diagnal and push that corner towards the middle until it's the size you want, then the nest time you open it will be that size. Let us know if it works

 

[ricketts]

WLM

Nothing helps... it keeps opening in maximized mode.
This mail client is not one of Microsoft's triumphs.
