Shortcuts opening minimized

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

R-Clk the shortcuts, Properties, Shortcut tab... what does it say in the
"Run" box? Open a folder, &...

(1) Set the folder as you will.
(2) Even resize it, USING the mouse and dragging the borders.
(3) Hold Ctrl as you click to close the folder/window.
(4) Perhaps, reboot.

If you wish, also "START, Settings, Folder Options, View tab, Reset all
folders" before step (1). Then, "Like current folder" before step (3).
Of course, all individualized folder settings, except perhaps "thumbnail
view", will be lost. If still unhappy, try turning off "Remember each
folders' view settings" before step (1), and back on later.

Here are some articles that might have additional info.

Desktop shortcuts don't have Run window. Resizing with draging arrow seems
to have worked. This seems to happen when I use F11 to open window to full
size. Thank you and PCR for your help. Jerry

You are welcome. Glad to hear it. Right, as Terhune says, some do & some
don't. (I personally would never use it even in those that do.)
