Opening a program and having it take up only a portion of the screen can be frustrating. It means having to maximize it manually each time, which can be time-consuming. Luckily, there is a way to edit your program shortcuts to make them open in full screen every time.
To get started, find the shortcut for the program you want to open in full screen. This could be on your Start menu, taskbar, or desktop. Right-click on the shortcut and select “Properties.”
In the properties window, look for the “Run” option. The default setting is “Normal Window,” but you can change it to “Minimized” or “Maximized.” Select “Maximized” and click “Apply” and then “OK.”
Now when you open the program using that shortcut, it will automatically open in full screen mode. Keep in mind that this only works for the shortcut you edited, so if you have multiple shortcuts for the same program, you will need to edit each one individually.
This tip can save you time and frustration, especially if you frequently use certain programs. So go ahead and edit your shortcuts to make your programs open in full screen every time.
