Is there a command switch that could be used with the 'Run' line, or in a
batch file, that opens an application maximized? Say, for instance, might
it be:
ex: c:\windows\mshearts.exe -M ??
Thanks,
LibraryMan

If it's an EXE you can edit the properties to run Maximised in the programme
tab.

Read the start command docs.
start /MAX c:\windows\mshearts.exe

I know, but what I actually did was to write a little 'script' that swaps
out the active "cards.dll" file depending on which solitaire game my wife
wants to play (two different games that have incompatible DLL files, but
unfortunately they're named the same).
So the icon that starts the game is actually starting a minimized batch file
which first copies appropriate file to the name "cards.dll," then starts
the game, hopefully maximized. And yes, she *might* get a little put-out
if all of the sudden she has to start maximizing when she didn't have to
before, because I'd been "messing with her computer again" ;-)

Why not store each .exe in a separate directory with its own appropriate
version of cards.dll, and then put the .dll most commonly used in the System
directory? That way, just use the correct active directory, and you don't
have problems.
