Ah, so... I wonder if one could change the file association for text files
to point to the maximizing shortcut instead of directly to NotePad...
dern! I can make the shortcut and associate it with .txt files, but I get
an error then trying to click (or press Enter) on .txt files in Explorer:
"... not a valid Win32 application" or similar message. There should be a
way, I would think, to do this. Any more ideas out there?
