Become a and go ad-free! Right click on the shortcut or menu item you use to start the program: Now, click on properties: Note the item labeled Run that’s set to “ Normal Window“. Change that to “Maximized”: Hit OK. The program should now start up maximized. Naturally, you could also select “minimized” to have the program start that way instead.
When screen space is at a premium and you only need SecureCRT on your screen, press ALT+ENTER (Windows) or COMMAND+ENTER (Mac). We genuinely appreciate your choosing BlueStacks. We hope you enjoy using it. If you have any further questions, please contact us at support at bluestacks dot.
As I said, there are a couple of caveats:. Some programs override this. By that I mean that when they start, they explicitly decide whether they want to be minimized, maximized or “normal”. The upshot is that they effectively ignore this setting. You’ll need to check with that particular program if there’s a way to alter this behavior. This works on programs, and shortcuts to program, but not documents or other files. For example if you have a shortcut to a Microsoft Word document on your desktop you will not see the Run option.
However if you have a shortcut to Microsoft Word itself, you will. Shortcuts in your start menu count. By that I mean, if in your start menu you have a shortcut to an application, you can right click on that menu item and click on properties, just as if it were a shortcut on your desktop of somewhere else. I'll show you how to locate the Startup folder and put a shortcut to your program there. You can create a shortcut to open Windows Explorer on the directory of your choice.

Windows Explorer is everywhere - yet finding Windows Explorer on the Start Menu is actually fairly difficult. We look at where Windows Explorer is, and some of the many other ways you can get to it. The Windows desktop was intended to hold shortcuts to files located elsewhere, but it's not limited to that. Posted: January 25, 2007 in: Shortlink: TAGS.
This does not work for all browsers shown, as soon as Vista closes, and restarts, any changes made are as they were when it restarts. The properties remain unchanged, the the actual results aren’t there.
Besides, shouldn’t Vista, by nature, “remember” the last view setting? I don’t use IE at all. I use Firefox, which this works for, as long as it is the default browser. My original reason was to open all my folders and files views Maximized.
This doesn’t answer how to open anything in explorer.exe (not iexplorer) always maximized, which is a fair bigger problem for me! Isn’t windows explorer considered an app too? I’ve been having the same trouble (and I recall having this trouble once before on another laptop I used in previous years).
I tried to follow the steps laid out here but discovered they didn’t work for me. I think part of the problem is I’m using Windows Vista, so right-clicking on the Windows application I want to maximize (in my case, MS Word) gives me a different menu.
I did manage to find the selection that gives me the options “Normal”, “Minimized”, and “Maximized”, but when I changed it the first time it told me I needed to be an administrator to change the settings. Then I went into “Properties” and selected “Administrator” under “Security” options and tried to implement the same changebut then tested it by opening up a new Word document and it still opened up at half-size. It does not work with Windows 10!!! I found myself here despite the fact that I searched for info on “maximizing”, beginning my search deliberately with “Windows 10”. I am very upset with “later” Windows (post XP) for the totally unnecessary change in menu location(s) and display architecture.
Apparently Microsoft does not realize that every extra click rubs humanity of millions of man-hours in productivity. I suspect that Microsoft is using helpful people like “Leo”, to give the impression that there exists “help” (or “hope” for the hopeless “later” Windows and Office versions). Kind regards, Michael P.
