maximise all windows

i have windows vista premium, is it possible to set all windows to open
maximised? i know that i can set individual ones to maximise but i want to
get all of them to do so.
kind regards

Open a single IE window.
Maximize it.
Hold down the Ctrl key, click File and then Exit.
Internet Explorer should now open maximized.
If not, repeat the above using the "Shift" key.

Hi, michigan.

As Bob said..

Or right-click on the IE icon and click Properties. On the Shortcut tab,
set the Run box to Maximized.

But you didn't really say WHICH application you want to run maximized. If
not IE, please post back with more details of what you are trying to do.

hi all, thanks for the replies, i am setting the computer up for my
grandmother who is 68, she is a little short sighted so it helps her if every
window she opens is maximised, i know i managed to do it on XP but i am not
sure how.
kind regards

Hi, michigan.

Say Hi to Grandma for me. I'm a Grandpa, age 72 and have been wearing
contact lenses since 1963. I also like to have most windows maximized. On
my 17" LCD at 1280 x 1024, I can crowd in a lot of info, but I still need to
hit the Magnifier button now and then.

Same way as in Vista. ;<)
