Hi, H.B.
What kind(s) of windows? Internet Explorer? Some specific program? Or all
windows?
The procedure Colin outlined is the standard and usually works. If it
doesn't, it may be because there is a setting within the program you are
trying to open. If we knew the name of the program, we might be more
specific.
A setting that often works (but not always) is to right-click the program
file - or its shortcut - and click Properties. In the Run line box, you can
set it to Maximized, Minimized or Normal window.
Tell us more and we will have a better chance to help you solve your
problem.
