I hope you already know how to do that. It involves exploring the start menu/programs folders in your user settings, and then sending the Outlook Express link file to the desktop. On the desktop, highlight the OE Icon Press Alt+Enter to open the shortcut properties. Tab until you hear Run: Combo Box and it will very likely say "normal Window". Arrow down until you hear "maximized". Press Enter, and that's it.

I never knew we had something like this. To solve the problem myself, I just created an Outlook Express shortcut on my desktop and set it to launch the window maximized. I'll have to download this and give it a try. Appreciate the relevant suggestion.

In order to have the best results with JFW, I need to maximize the window each time I open, reply, forward, etc. a message in Outlook Express so I am constantly maximizing the window. Is there a way to permanently maximize this window so that JFW can function well? I have Outlook Express 2003 and JFW version 10.
