Vista Explorer - open maximized?

[osiris777]

anyone know a definate way to open Explorer maximized every single time i start it up, open a new one??
tried maximizing then opening several new windows then closing the original.

Open explorer, maximize and close it with "Shift" pressed.

If that doesn't work.....

Resize window to maximum size without pressing the maximise button then close it with "Shift" pressed.

found this registry hack...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer

Add a new DWORD value named “MaximizeApps” Set the value to 1
