Making All Windows START Maximized?

Sunday, June 4, 2006 by Keikonium | Discussion: Windows XP

Without the use of Windows FX ? Is this possible?

Most windows open in the state they were closed.

You can also create shortcuts to apps and in the shortcut properties set the apps to run MAX, MIN, or Windowed.

That is correct, they do. However, not when you maximize and then close them. I can do a faux maximize by stretching the window to all 4 cornors and closing it... but it doesn't look good with the skin I am using (Vista XP).

I was thinking maybe a registry entry that determined that last opened size... and making it my desktop size might help? I know my windows 98 computer could maximize, close the window, and it would stay maximized. Windows XP doesn't seem to want to.

^^This is called "AutoSizer". It's free and I've used it for a few years now. Just configure it, which is extremely easy, and it will take care of maximizing for you!
