Yup, tried that, as well the registry fix to make sure it does right, as well as creating additional shortcuts, and using maximise option, as well as others that I would need to sit down and really think hard about, as it has been 2 years.

All of them have failed at one point or another, some never worked. I can say one thing about the tile windows option I use above, it has never failed me, not once.

My only point being, now, is that I know of no cure to this. If you happen to be a person who had a "quirky" setup, the "normal" option of always having a maximised window does not work. The way I tell people to do it always works, regardless of wuirks on their system.

As to whether they no longer have the option to go to a smaller window at the click of a button, well they want to always open maximised, so that is not an issue.

I'll wait to see which fix you are talking about, when your other source is up and running!

not so...it's a big issue for the people that have asked me about this, as they want the option to minimize.

Plus, I also believe what I posted was what I was talking about, so if it doesn't work, then I believe you are right, and the program posted is as of yet the only true solution... UNLESS SP1 HAS ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM...HA...THAT'D BE A KICK, wouldn't it

Heheh, that would be funny. Seems that whenever you finally get comfortable with your browser, a new version or an update to it comes out. Being the good little browser user, you update it, and start having problems!! I remember that was the case with my IE5 and the browser window 2 years ago.

Anyway, SP1 doesn't go on my system right now for 2 reasons;

I don't want to go through the extraordinarily long download time for an update! I mean, it's the whole hog!! What ever happened to a SP or patch being just the SP and patch?

and

I'll wait till the bugs in it get worked out in a few months!!


I do not, right now, know of any bugs in it, but (in my best MS Pessimistic attitude) they always do have them.

I am also not going to download the patch for quite some time;

as far as the tweak I just posted up top, well, I decided to use it for experimentation purposes, even though it's not my preferance.

it's working fine, hasn't missed...I'm guessing windows will forget the settitngs sooner or later, but you can just reset if that happens...this is definately a better solution then opening minimized to a full screen.

good luck

hi randy;

I know in one of your posts, you said you tried the registry hack...I'm not sure if this is the same hack, so let me know...if this is new, tell me if this works for you...(also, my experiment with the idea that I posted is still sticking, and this will definately work for most people)

anyway, is this the one?;

Backup these RegKeys.

1:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU]

2:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags]

After that you must delete them

restart windows

let me know

perris - thanx for he interest in trying to get things working in a proper manner, but I'm gonna be 100% honest with you here, OK?

I am quite happy with the workaround I have. I have no need, nor desire to be able to shrink the windows down, so will not find that bit of kit useful. I am sure others will, and I wholeheartedly fall in behind you in trying to find a viable method to achieve this, but I'm not going to participate.

Please don't take that the wrong way, but, since I am quite happy with my current setup, I see no need to change it. Do you get me?

Peace!!
