Tech Tips for Writers #96: Open a Program Maximized
Tech Tips for Writers is an (almost) weekly post on overcoming Tech Dread. I’ll cover issues that friends, both real-time and virtual, have shared. Feel free to post a comment about a question you have. I’ll cover it in a future Tip.
Q: How do I open the internet maximized on my screen.Clicking that tiny square in the upper right corner is fine, but do I have to do it every time I open a browser?
A: I got this question from a reader. Here’s how you open the internet–or most programs–maximized rather than in that annoying smaller size that makes it difficult to maneuver:
Right click on the program icon
Select Properties>Shortcuts
Select the dropdown menu by Run and choose Normal window

How to open the internet maximized
That’s it.
