How to increase Windows size

Oh, I see. My thoughts went in totally different directions...

Well, even better.

Thanks for letting me know, Alan!

Then please click the Start-Button and type Windows Explorer in the searchbox. Look for Windows Explorer in the list and right-click on Windows Explorer. A new window pops up and on the bottom of it please click on Properties. In the new window click on the tab Shortcut and there look for the box named Run, click on the dropdown arrow and select maximized. Click Apply and OK.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to add Windows Explorer to your taskbar. You do that by again clicking the Start-Button, type Windows Explorer in the searchbox, look for Windows Explorer in the list, right-click it and choose Pin to taskbar.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply however as a novice I have a couple of problems, I do not have Windows Explorer on any task bar, not that I can see at least,  I have Internet Explorer but when I click that and find its properties there is no run box. I only have Windows 7 is that the problem

Hi Julia

Thanks for that it was there all the time only I thought it was my documents folder. However having followed your instructions this is what I get when I open a window from the screen Icon.

Hi Alan!

Please try this:

Right click on the Windows Explorer icon in the taskbar. Then, in the jumplist, again right click on Windows Explorer. Then click 'Properties" and in the box named "Run", click on the dropdown arrow. Select maximized, click Apply, OK.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Julia
