You can manually drag it to fill the screen. (Do not use the maximize button, for that's a temporary setting that will not be retained.) Now press the Ctrl button, and close this second window, holding the Ctrl button depressed, using 'close' in the File menu (important!). All windows should now open full screen. They are not maximized, but filling the screen. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Guy Barlow HR Workforce Information & Analysis Officer Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 6:01 AM To: 'jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Maximizing windows Good morning Can any one advise a way to ensure that all application windows are set to default so that they are set to maximize upon opening an application? Any advice would be welcome. Regards Guy
