Somehelp in ObjectDock

Monday, February 24, 2003 by rbonlli | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I´m a grphic designer, and so I use mostly Photoshop and CorelDraw11... there are anyway for the apps open by the OD be opened maximized? The Corel always opens with a non-maximized windows, and almost half of it out of the desktop... so I had to bring it back to desktop and maximize it every time...

any way?

my understanding is that there are ways to change how a program opens by using commands in the arguments field. it seems no one knows what those commands are though.....

I'm not sure about this but when I want a window to open in a specific way, I just set it up the way I want it on the desktop and then close it. The next time it opens (as a general rule) it opens the way it was last used. I think that there is a way in WinXP to set this up as an option. At least it will open that way from the application that last openend it (such as ObjectDock)

As HuronJoe stated above....

Windows is sticky by nature I think, meaning it will open a program window in the last state it was in when closed...

I can do a search real quick and see if I can track down the arg's for controlling specific apps such as Adobe products and Procreate...

bbib...

Thanks for the help people... I´ve thinked about the arguments... but didn´t fine any... if someone knows, will help a lot.

The "open last state" didn´t work on this case... don´t matter where I close (maximized or not), corel will always open not--maxed and halfway out of the desktop (if I opened with the shrtcut on my desktop or the Start menu... it opens maxed.)

iplural...where you do a "search real quick to see if you can track down the args"...
i am still losing hair trying to get certain games run in the proper "search path" and i would like to see if an argument can correct the problem.
