Hi Adrian, >From what I'm getting from this lady is very inconclusive, so it's really hard to understand if she has the Word desktop icon set to maximize or not. But, when we don't run our 3rd party program to do this for us automatically, our computers retain window size settings until we turn the computers off & restart, & this is also for programs that don't have the properties set to run in the maximized state. So, I'm wondering why this window size memory thing works for some, & not for others. I know, it's frickin Windows LOL Take care.

Hi, Mike. I think you know how to create a shortcut using "properties" for the desired application. One way is to place focus on the item in the desktop and press alt-enter. The tab you land on should be "Create shortcut." If not, press control-tab until it turns up. Using MS word as an example, once in the "shortcut" tab, press the tab key to "Run..." and you'll probably hear "Normal size window." Arrow down to "Maximize," and tab on from there. I don't find this option in Outlook, so it seems to be application-dependent. I do find it in MS Word. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Personally I use a 3rd party program, so I never have this problem, & don't have a clue as to what the answer is to make her system remember current session window settings. If anyone has an answer for this, would you please share? All help & input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.
