Start Menu app is told to launch Maximized, but it launches Normal.

[Guest baobob@my-deja.com]

I have had this problem sporadically for untold years in seemingly all

versions of Windows.

 

I have an app in my Start menu. If I right-click on it and look at its

Properties, the Run field says "Maximized".

 

Yet it launches in a Normal (Restored) window.

 

If Windows is designed properly, this should be irrelevant, but I'll

say it anyway, just in case: The thing I'm launching is ncpa.cpl

(Network and Dial-Up Connections).

 

How do I force Windows to do what it says, and launch it maximized?

 

Thanks much.

What happens if you logon as a new user? (create a new account in 'Users and

Passwords').
