How can I a) make it so that when I download somehting in Firefox (and in other apps which use this part of Vista), the window is 'open', as in the Browse folders option is always enabled? b) How can I make it that applications/windows are fully maximized automatically when opened?

Cheers.

Anyone?

A) In Firefox, goto Tools -> Preferences... -> Main, and select "Always ask me where to save files".

B) Applications are usually started in the state they were, when they closed. So if you close them when they're maximized, they should start maximized.

Assuming it's the same as XP, open the properties of the shortcut you use to launch a program, in the Shortcut tab, Run field, change "Normal Window" to "Maximized". It will always launch maximized from that shortcut.

I should have answered sooner, but I thought "It's a Vista question, all I know about Vista is it sucks." But I suppose a lot of things haven't changed.

Gonna check out later. Eld - I meant that the browse all folders is always enabled. I already have FF set to ask me whenever I download.
