I have been also taking a look at the code and sorry about forgetting exactly who it was that posted it in the first place but it is so simple and eligant that I am going to start including it in my personal bag of tricks.
1. Use SendMessage function. Insert this line in the AutoStart event: SendMessage(GetAppMainWindow(GetFocus()), 274, 61488, 0) ;It will maximize the active window. I took a look at the other part of the first message before trying the above code which was my error. I don't follow it completely but the fact is it works which is good enough for this guy. I mean 1 line of code, now that's my kind of programming.

Possibly the script that simply maximizes your window by accessing the system menu will work just fine for you. I am going to tinker with my auto maximize function this morning as it for now at least looks like it is going to be quiet around here for a bit.

Since at this time the only client I have at my disposal is outlook 2007 I checked and mine at least does not have an auto start event. Obviously I can create such an animal but before I do please clarify the program you meant. Actually my inbox and messages always come up maximized so there is no problem here with that kind of stuff at all so far anyway. If memory serves Donnie's original question was directed at IE specifically at a certain web page which I have not had a chance to look at as of yet. Unfortunately I do not have the original message that started this thread so Donnie if you would be so kind as to send the address again. I am going to test your code out, of that you can rest assured as it looks interesting to me at least. It reminds me of my mainframe days on the old IBM 3090 but that is another story.

It does seem a bit complicated but manageable. I do always appreciate any contributions to my collection of scripts either to the web site or for my personal stockpile so to speak.

Use SendMessage function. Insert this line in the AutoStart event: SendMessage(GetAppMainWindow(GetFocus()), 274, 61488, 0). It will maximize the active window. 2. Use some workaround. It is a simpler method. It needs some refining, because I write it down from memory. This script toggles window state between maximized and normal. But you can extend it so, that it supports only maximized and minimized state. This script works in all windows having system menu. The menu you can call with Alt+Space. Script ToggleRestoreWindow () ;This script make notepad maximize or restore Var String sName, String sShortname ;Get the name of currently open file SpeechOff () TypeKey {Alt+space} If GetControlAttributes (false)==4 then ;the Restore option is unavailable TypeKey {x} ;send letter x to current application Let sName=FormatString (Maximize_l, GetAppTitle ()) Let sShortname=FormatString (Maximize_s, GetAppTitle ()) Else ;windows is currently maximize EnterKey () Let sName=FormatString (restore_l, GetAppTitle ()) Let sShortname=FormatString (restore_s, GetAppTitle ()) EndIf Pause () SpeechOn () SayFormattedMessage (ot_message, sName, sShortName) EndScript HTH Csaba For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
