Made a Mistake

Some time ago I made a change in the Windows Vista registry that causes all
Windows, Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer to open maximized. I now
realise that this was not what I want to do.

The only problem is I did not perform a registry backup and I made the
change so long ago I can not remember which registry setting (key) I changed.

I know this is a difficult question to ask, but is there anyone out there
that might possible know what the key was I changed or perhaps help me find
out what the key was I changed.

Possibly you tried this hack?
Start-Run-Regedit
Navigate to the key below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer

Add a new DWORD value named “MaximizeApps” Set the value to 1

If you have such a value, set it to 0 or delete it
