Guest Tyler Durden Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Some applications can't be started with its windows maximized, requiring a mouse click or keyboard shortcut (that is not always the same, since it changes with the language of the OS). Someone knows of a method, like a small portable freeware application, to create a command line that starts an application maximized? Try to start the Microsoft Computer Management Console maximized (compmgmt.msc). Thanks to everyone!

Not a very nice method to send keys but it helps : runcompmgmtmax.vbs ==> Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Shell.Run "compmgmt.msc", 3 WScript.Sleep 2000 Shell.SendKeys ("% ") Shell.SendKeys ("n") -- Regards, Jean-François
Guest Tyler Durden Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Re: Starting applications on a maximized window Thanks, but the send keys method does not work with all possible OS languages and the delay is also unwanted because there are other apps to start in the same script, like autoruns, hijackthis, etc. "JF" <JF@-> wrote in message news:%236M3cvvCJHA.4932@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > *Bonjour Tyler Durden * ! > <news:e2toVsuCJHA.3348@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl> > >> Some applications can't be started with its windows maximized, requiring >> a mouse click or keyboard shortcut (that is not always the same, since it >> changes with the language of the OS).
