Rob ^_^:
Thanks for your reply. Tried all three possibilities, but the problem
remains.
1. The mail program was not already opened.
2. When I click on the flashing orange taskbar icon, Mail opens full
screen. When I close it at full screen
(and returning to IE), clicking the Read Mail icon opens Mail full
screen immediately. So the
problem occurs only the first time I open IE and then click the
toolbar icon.
3. I created the icon using the IE "Customize Command Bar/Add or Remove
Commands" option.
There is no "Maximize" choice there. Either right or left clicking
the flashing orange Mail Taskbar
icon causes Mail to open immediately full screen.

This behavior is similar to some of my old DOS programs in Vista. On some
of those, the flashing
orange icon appears, but clicking on it brings up the UAC "Cancel/Allow"
dialog. Could this problem
be possibly related to UAC?
