Windows 10: Customizing right-click File Explorer entry to view images in maximized Photos window

When I right-click on an image in Windows 11 File Explorer to be opened with "Photos", I would always like the Photos window to be maximized. Sometimes it is, mostly not; is there a setting or registry entry for that?

:)

 

Windows file explorer only displays in maximized view

When I open file explorer it opens in maximized view but when I minimize the window it shrinks to a very small windows and freezes and then crashes. Explorer.exe has to restart in order for the window to open back in maximized view again.

Has this happen to anyone else?

File Explorer file structure customization

I suggest 1 Set File explorer to open at ThisPC File explorer, View menu, Options [an icon on its right-hand end]: Open File explorer to: ThisPC 2 Tidy up the list of drives so they are not repeated. Once again, this is not altering any drives, only your view of them. All drives will be shown within ThisPC. Add or Remove Duplicate Drives in Navigation Pane of File Explorer - TenForumsTutorials 3 Clean up navigation pane - this might be what you described having just done. In the clear area under the last entry in your left-hand pane ['Navigation pane'], right-click

- Clear Show libraries, - Clear Show all folders, - Click on Expand to current folder to set it. 4 Close & re-open File explorer then post another screenshot of it when it opens along with your comments about what else you want to change. My comments A You will sometimes see the whole tree shown as stemming from "Desktop" & your user name but with these settings it will not happen very often [and it will never open that way]. B I do not suggest hiding Quick access. I find it very useful for getting straight to some specific folders without having to browse down to them.

You might like the Recent items, Recent folders entries or you might not. If you would like them then I'll dig out the instructions for showing them. I don't use them very often at all. Oh, the proper part is south of the Thames, Thanks for the rep, Denis
