i have a new nvidia video card that allows me 3 monitors - however the first two are 'spanned' giving me a work area of 3840 x 1080 (which is perfect for my video editing), HOWEVER:when clicking the maximize symbol in the upper right hand corner the application window will spread across both monitors.is it possible, or is there any software, that will allow me to set the size of a maximized window?i also get all windows messages opening in the center of the two screens, very annoying and sometimes hard to read.

I cannot open my favorites websites on the maximised size i have tried to open them then maximise and close but they dont reopen full size.This is also happening with media player and other programs .
I'm used to W7 remembering the last known positions of all of my open windows, but lately (and I can't recall what change may have prompted this) every window opens in a maximized state, and upon restoring it, always sizes down to the default window size, jammed right into the upper-left corner of the screen.
Problem:I am using Windows 7. When I am browsing and switch to a new window it appears minimized, and I have to maximize it myself. I remember way back that there was something to do to have the new window maximized all the time.
When I marked a whole folder or a couple of files in Windows Explorer in Windows XP then the sum/total size of all marked files is (was) shown in the status bar in the bottom of the WinExp window.
I downloaded IE 9 beta with no apparent problem and the installation ended with a window which said some of the IE files were in use and could not be updated. I dont know which these were since nothing was open but I continued, restarted ok, and on from there.Problem: Open IE ok but can only tab browse when windows is maximized (double boxes.)CTRL+W, right click and select "Close Tab" to close a tab, and CTRL+TAB to switch between tabs works fine no matter what the size/orientation of IE. But click on the tab "x", depress mouse wheel to close tab, and click on tab to select it will only work when maximized (double boxes.) Seems like IE 9 will only work with windows maximized. All other features work ok.Installing with no add-ons, in safe mode, or with anti-virus off makes no difference
When I maximize any window, it never takes up the whole screen. Instead, it stops short about half a centimeter from the top of the screen, where I can see my desktop. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm including a link to the screenshot that I took. The top is outlined with a red box.[URL]
I just got a new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. When I start it, and open up internet explorer, the program is fine and fully maximized. However when I go and close the lid, then open it again, I find a 1cm gap has appeared at the top of the program window where I can see the desktop (all three buttons still there). Then I cannot get it to fully maximize (it said it was fully maximized with the gap) until I log on again, or restart. Any suggestions. I am guessing this is a software issue, not a hardware issue right? I should say this only happens with certain programms (IE9, Paint, document explorer, picture explorer etc.
When maximizing any new window I would like them to be automatically maximized like this:(bordered)instead of like this(borderless)Ideally I would like to override the borderless maximized state with the bordered maximized state, so that I never have to encounter the borderless maximized state.side from looking better (personal preference) it is also easer to adjust the windows with the freesnap program (It is not possible to adjust the window in freesnap if the window is in the borderless maximized state.
windows media player underlaps the taskbar when maximized. Also websites such as facebook have the bottom part going under the taskbar so i can't chat to people.
Seen several different posts about this issue but really no definitive answer as to why is occurring. Never happened with XP or Vista only Windows 7. Seems most users with this issue report having a Dell computer but mine is a Toshiba Satellite L505. I just find it very annoying to have approximately half inch of desktop space visible on top of any type maximized window, browser window, explorer window, whatever.
Is there a possible way to switch Windows users while a game is maximized? I feel like I used to have a windows system that had a button on the keyboard that I would accidentally press from time to time, and it would send me directly to my windows users list while keeping my full-screen game active. I'm looking for that same functionality here.
i want to make my WMP play on a maximized screen, i have to drag to fit the screen, or press maximize. any idea on how to keep it maximized all the time, then if i want to go full screen, i can.
Whenever Firefox 8 opens, it opens in minimized mode (ie, just about covers the whole monitor screen, but not quite...hovering over single square in upper right gives a tooltip of "Maximize". I'd like it to open in maximized mode (in upper right should show double square and "Restore Down" tooltip)--how? Within the icon's shortcut on the desktop, properties>run>normal or maximize makes no difference, FF still opens minimized.
EDIT: BTW, the same thing is also happening on my laptop which is configured exactly the same as this desktop. Different computer manufacturers, but same OS and same configs for FF8.
I bought myself a new laptop recently and it arrived today. When I maximize a Window, it sometimes leaves space above the window. It is very, very noticeable, at about half a centimeter in height. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, it is only fixed by logging off and back on again, and even then it is only temporarily fixed. If I put my computer onto standby and then bring it back on, the problem is often created, but sometimes it just happens if I launch a program. The link below goes to a screenshot showing the problem. It leaves space above my window and in that space my desktop is visible. [URL].
I cannot seen the bottom of the screen or window(full window or bottom tab) when it is maximized. I am facing this problem since two days,earlier it ok( i use to see full window when it is maximized).
I am running out of space on my system drive (120GB SSD with < 6GB remaining). It happened in only 12 months. I'd like to know where all that space went, which files are using it. So I'm looking for a way to rank files by size regardless of their folder location, largest-to-smallest, ideally without a full scan of the disk if there are internal indexes that have this info.
I have some programs that, when the PC boots, open in a window. I would like them to open maximized (they are not listed in the Startup folder in Start > All Programs).
basically as it say's in the title WMP12 now opens maximized every time I play a MP3 file. It used to always just play the song and be minimized. Its really annoying every time you click for a MP3 to play it goes back to this maximized window.
When I maximize the flash player when we are watching a video the screen stops and starts every 3-4 minutes. If I minimize the screen this doesnt happen. I have re-installed flash and this happens across all browsers.
My C: drive has been displaying a size of around 60 gb with 40 free even though it's a 300 gb drive. I thought the issue would resolve with a clean install, so I did that. Now I have a fresh install and i need to reinstall everything, but the problem isn't fixed. Below are some screen shots of the drive size:Disk Management, showing my C: Drive's full size ^Any suggestions of how I can reclaim this space?? I've tried a few things already to no avail. If you need any more information about my computer to help, let me know. This is pretty annoying, 'cause I want to use that extra space to install Ubuntu.Oh, I just rememberedWhen I look at the drive in Paragon Partition Manager, it shows the full Drive size, but says that the space that is missing from Windows is in use...
My video card died a few days ago so i had to start using my integrated Intel HD Graphics.i have once screen at 1920X1080 and the other is 1680x1050 and when ever i maximize a window (firefox for example) it overlaps on my 1st screen. imgur: the simple image shareris a image of both screen and you can see the window layered onto the start of my screen under the start menu orb.
Since upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium I can no longer use any of the HP Printing software that came with the HP 5280 All In One Printer which I had set up with custom paper sizes to print large panorama photo's,eg 420mm x 210mm.I know the printer is capable of printing photo's this size as I have printed many panoramic photo's in this and similar sizes when I was running XP.I have set some custom sizes in Print Server Properties and the settings are being saved there but they do not appear in any paper size lists in Windows or in the HP printer preferences.This is the procedure I'm following.1) Click start menu,then Control Panel,and finally View Devices And Printers.2) Click printer in the list(HP 5280),then click Print Server Properties.3) Click Create New Form,type a custom paper name in the Form Name text box and enter the desired paper size under Paper Size.Click the Save Form button,and the new form is present in the paper list
Ive just took delivery of a custom built pc with a 90gig ssd drive as the boot drive and it seems like windows has took up almost half 40 gig plus, now i know it should be around 25gig so how do i find out what taking up all that space.
I have just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit CZ + all updates including service pack Installation was done on empty (formated by installation) 60 GB SSD
Result - used 37,8 GB, free 21,6 GB (out of 59,5 GB) - data provided by explorer
Installation started less then 24 hours ago, finished about one hour ago (including sleeping, downloading and installation took about half of this time)
Installed - on C drive
1) Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CZ - what was given by installation disc
2) ati catalyst driver center
3) all windows updates - including service pack (before installation of service pack free space was more then 25 GB...)
4) Internet explorer 9
5) Adobe reader and flash player
6) Firefox 5, total commander, winamp, daemon tool, kmplayer, pidgin - all this sw was installed on separated disc drive D (but created some files in profile etc...)
Now I am going to continue installation with MS Office 2010 (on disc D:-) .... I am not surprised because, I formated and reinstalled Windows becuase I run out of disc space on C drive before this installation after 2 years... (there were some other application up to 10 GB on C drive, the rest - 50 GB was used totally by windows.....)
How long I will survive with Windows 7 and ONLY 60 GB system disc???
Yes, this is an old issue but I wanted to summarize a few points, and open it for further discussion:
(1) Optionally displaying size of all folders has been a top-requested feature for years
(2) Windows 7 Explorer does not have this, although hovering the mouse pointer over the folder will show individual folder size.
(3) The Mac Finder displays folder size, although it's not enabled by default.
(4) In XP, Windows add-on tools like FolderSize and TreeSize Pro would add a column to Windows Explorer showing folder size. Unfortunately the underlying API IColumnProvider was removed starting with Vista, so these tools don't work in either Vista or Windows 7.
There are various arguments why Explorer can't display folder size, such as it would burden a network drive, it would be too slow, wouldn't handle junctions correctly, etc.
These arguments break down because it has already been done: the feature has already been implemented on both Mac and Windows 3rd party tools. We can see ourselves how well or poorly it works. In general it works pretty well on local drives on contemporary hardware.
Re network drives, it's easy to programmatically discriminate between network and local drives. One solution is only enable folder sizes for local drives. As on the Mac, another solution is don't enable it by default. Many users won't turn it on, so this lessens the impact.
There are more sophisticated future solutions possible to optimize folder size query of a network server. E.g, the server maintains folder size info and reports it to the client, but these aren't needed as a 1st step. The lack of these don't preclude folder size working on local drives today. Proof of this is Mac and 3rd party XP tools work fine on local drives right now.
With this in mind and considering Microsoft spent 6 billion dollars on Vista and several billion more on Windows 7, why wasn't folder size a basic feature of the Windows 7 explorer?
