Maximize a Program When It Starts
I'm often asked how you can start a program
and have it start maximized. In particular, people are most
interested in have Internet Explorer start maximized. With
IE, it seems that the first instance of it starts maximized,
but others start at the smaller window.
Well, quite frankly, as of IE5.5 (and all earlier
versions) there is no way to do this. There are a couple of
programs that will do this for you:
IE New Window Maximizer
It claims: "A little program that will maximize every
new Internet Explorer window
that you open as long, as you are running this program in
the background.
It will place itself in the System Tray (by the clock) when
you hit "Minimize".

AutoSizer
It claims: "AutoSizer automatically maximizes any
window that you specify. For instance, some web browser
windows open up in a non-maximized window. Using AutoSizer,
you will never have to worry about that because AutoSizer
will automatically maximize the window for you. It works
on virtually any window, including web browsers, Notepad,
etc. AutoSizer stays running in the System Tray (next to
the time), so it stays out of your way while it performs
its task."
