Windows 10: set shortcut windows to open MAXIMIZED many at one time

why doesn't windows allow you to do this you guys? see images below. I am selecting 20 shortcuts on the DT. and the dialog doesn't give this option. why? all the types of links are the same. makes no sense. =

How to set Windows 10 to ALWAYS open maximized windows when clicking on the shortcuts for the File Explorer or pinned websites of the taskbar

Straightforward ideas which did NOT work for the File Explorer shortcut:

• 
  Right click on the File Explorer shortcutof the taskbar> Right click on “File explorer”>Left click on “Properties”>Under ‘Shortcut’; Select ‘Maximized’ for the field ‘Run:’
  
• 
  Right click on an empty space on the desktop >Left click on “New”> Left click on “Shortcut”>Type “explorer” (without quotes) and select “Next”> Select “Finish”>Right click on the shortcut>Left click on “Properties”>Under ‘Shortcut’;
  Select ‘Maximized’ for the field ‘Run:’>Remove the old File Explorer icon from the taskbar>Pin the new shortcut on the taskbar
  
• 
  Open File Explorer>Maximize its window> Hold the Ctrl key when closing it
  

Indeed, none of the three methods above is able to make File Explorer be opened on a maximized window in all cases. In fact, the only way in which File Explorer is opened on a maximized window is making sure that its corresponding window was maximized
before closing it. Otherwise it will remember that it was not maximized when it was closed, so the next time that I click on the File Explorer shortcut
to open it again, it will not be opened on maximized window.

Note that this issue seems to be restricted to File Explorer. For instance, if I use any of the three methods for the taskbar
shortcuts of Word, Excel, Paint, etc. their corresponding windows will ALWAYS be maximized, regardless of the fact that they were not on maximized windows when they were closed for the last time.

For the pinned websites shortcuts (which still are currently opened with Explorer 11 on Windows 10) I cannot find any parameter to change the size of the window to be opened at all. I have tried: right click on
the shortcut>Right click on the particular name of the pinned site>Left click on “Properties”

Similarly, the only (apparent) way to make it be opened on a maximized window is to remember to maximize its corresponding window before closing it.

In summary, I would like to know how to make the File Explorer or pinned websites be opened on maximized windows REGARDLESS of the fact that their windows were maximized or not when they were closed for the last time, knowing that
the methods I’ve just described did NOT work.

Thanks in advance

 

Opening desktop shortcut displays minimized window, want maximized

 

Unable to open shortcuts maximized

Hi,

Try this procedure...

Open a webpage. Stretch it out to fullsize. Don't use maximize.

Choose any link on that webpage and right-click> open in a new window.

Stretch that second window out to the desired size- don't use maximize.

Close the first IE window. Then close that second resized window.

You should do this with every program shortcut you use to open Internet Explorer and if you close a smaller window you will have to redo it.
