    Force ALL new explorer windows to open maximized?


    Is there a reg mod to Force ALL new explorer windows to open maximized?

    I know how to change the properties to open the shortcut maximized...but I'm wanting ALL windows to open maximized. For example when right clicking on a folder in explorer and selecting "Open in new window" I would rather that new explorer window be full screen rather than a small window that I ALWAYS have to adjust.

    I'm so tired of windows 10 opening supper small windows...

    :)

  2. Windows 10 keeps resetting my Default Programs for .wav and internet.

    Sorry, this isn't solving the issue.

    The problem is reproduceable on my end. When I open an explorer, all of my .wav files open with groove player. I change the setting in properties so that all .wav files open in windows media player.

    Then, I close the explorer window.

    When I open a new explorer window and check those .wav files, they are all back to pointing to the groove player.

    This is also the case with these other file types

    .pdf (always opens in edge instead of adobe acrobat)

    .html (always opens in edge instead of chrome)

    It almost seems as if microsoft is forcing me to use groove music player and the edge browser.

    Internet Explorer links from Outlook 2007 won't open new tabs

    Since installing Windows 10 with Internet Explorer 11 as the default browser, links from within Outlook 2007 will only open new IE Windows.

    Prior to Windows 10 the default was to open links in new Tabs - its worked fine for years and I like it that way.

    Does anyone know how to force opening new Tabs to be the default?

  4. Force ALL new explorer windows to open maximized?

    If I maximize the window and close it, all new windows open maximized automatically.


    Try this. Run CMD and copy/paste.
    Code: reg delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell" /v "FolderType" /t REG_SZ /d "NotSpecified" /f taskkill /im explorer.exe /f & explorer.exe[/quote]
    Open Explorer - select the desired size (full screen) and view - go to:

    View - Options - View - Apply to Folders - OK - Close Explorer ASAP

    Ohh hey that great thanks! ...but doesnt the default windows size change whenever I change the windows size of the last used window? What exactly does your CMD string do? Does it delete ALL windows explorer view settings?

    For some strange reason today every windows is opening maximized! I didn't run the CMD string, I didn't adjust any window sizes. Why/how does this happen?
