Remember Windows size How ??
Hi, Morten.
There are 3 traditional ways to get a window to fill the screen. They look almost the same, but Windows knows their differences: 1. Full Screen - press F11 to toggle this off/on. 2. Normal window stretched (usually with the mouse) to fill the desktop area. 3. Maximized - this is what we usually mean when we say "full screen". (Win7 added some new twists (Aero Snap, Aero Shake, etc.). I've used those a little but not enough to get really familiar with them yet. And they generally are used ad hoc; they don't persist to the next session.) The traditional advice has been to either use #3 by setting Properties | Run for that app or shortcut to "Maximized", rather than "Normal Window". Or to use #2, then close ALL other windows before closing your resized window LAST. Next time that app starts, it should open in the same size window. But this hasn't always worked for me. And, even when it works, I often forget, then find - after I've closed my right-sized window - that there is a small window hidden behind it; when I close that small window, my app remembers THAT size for next time. :( So then I have to set my preferred size again. Sadly, this window-size problem has persisted through many generations of Windows versions. There are many solutions that work SOMETIMES, but none that I know of that work always. RC -- R. C.

Go to the uppermost section, above the menu selections, of the open window
you want to resize and right click. There is, or should be, a selection menu with; Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, and Close. Select "Size" and set the window as you desire then use the red "X" to close the program. Upon reopening it should be as you set it. -- Sir_George "Morten" wrote in message ...
