| | Shortcut changes when changing attribute from "Normal window" to "Maximized" Hi folks, I got a little problem bugging me: I like to have a shortcut on my desktop that leads to my user-files. But since there is a difference in the way items are sorted between the folder "Username" and the folder "C:\Users\Username" I would rather have the second one as shortcut. So far no problem, I explore to C:\Users, right-click on my username, and choose "Send to" -> Desktop (shortcut). But if I want this shortcut to open maximized, and set that in the shortcuts properties it changes back to the standard shortcut the the user-files. Does anyone know a fix for this? Sorry about the weird story, I hope you`ll understand what I mean :-) -- Regards magoo |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Shortcut changes when changing attribute from "Normal window" to "Maximized" Hello Magoo, Vista remembers the folder views for when the folder was last closed. Open the Username folder from the Start Menu, "C:\Users\User Name", and shortcut locations separately, then maximize each window and close them. It should open maximized the next time you open. If it still does not remember, then apply Method Two in this tutorial below to reset the folder view settings. Next, repeat the above again to maximize the window.
