Force window size and position using switches in command line for shortcut?
I have a xp based application, not ms dos. It loads a program but it
is not maximized in window size. Adjusting the size doesn't 'remember'
the size of position. This works with all other programs but this ONE
is refusing to do this.
What is a command line switch[es] to force a larger window and perhaps
a window position each time this program is launched?
I am launching it via a shortcut on the desktop.
I am using XP HOME SP2
T H A N K S A LOT!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Force window size and position using switches in command line for shortcut?
Did you try to set the shortcut to open maximized?
1. Right-click on a shortcut and select Properties.
2. Click the down arrow to the right of
"Run: Normal Window" and select "Maximized".
