Minimised window

Whenever I open a post in my Outlook Express on my new computer it is a
minimised window. Obviously I maximise it but I would have expected from then
on any new post I open would then be maximised but it is not. I have searched
in the Tools Options etc and can't find a way to get my posts to always open
in a maximised state. When I click Create new post I also get a minimised
window.

Any suggestions or am I just going to have to put up with it. I am running
XP Professional.

Thanks

Open ONE new messageresize it to what you want, by dragging the edges with
your mouseclose it with the X, next time you open it will be has you just
closed it, this works with all windows, Windows remembers the size it was
last closed.

For each small window, first, *close all other windows*. Now, grab the
corners of the window and drag it to full screen size. Close the window
using File | Close, or File | Exit depending what program you're in. Windows
will remember the last screen size used the next time you open the program.

If you mean that it minimises to the task bar?

Open ONLY ONE message, when it minimizes to the task bar select its
buttonright clickselect moveuse your keyboard arrows to get the window
into the main part of your screenclick to release itnow resize and
position it where you want it to open with your mouse. Close that window.
Next time it will
open as you just closed it.
