Made a Mistake

Some time ago I made a change in the Windows Vista registry that causes all
Windows, Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer to open maximized. I now
realise that this was not what I want to do.

The only problem is I did not perform a registry backup and I made the
change so long ago I can not remember which registry setting (key) I changed.

I know this is a difficult question to ask, but is there anyone out there
that might possible know what the key was I changed or perhaps help me find
out what the key was I changed.

Hello ElusiveRunner,

Applying METHOD TWO in the tutorial below will reset the folder view
settings in Vista and may fix this for you as well.

Hope this helps,

Possibly you tried this hack?
Start-Run-Regedit
Navigate to the key below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer

Add a new DWORD value named ?MaximizeApps? Set the value to 1

If you have such a value, set it to 0 or delete it
