I have to press ALT + ENTER to make the window maximized. When I right click on the icon and select the property i don't get any seetings which can allow me to make the window maximize.

When selected Full Screen and clicked on OK button I get another popup which has apply property which has option 1. apply property to current window only 2. Save properties for future windows with same title. when selected the second option and click on OK the program works fine. But I want to know how can I do this programatically 'cos I am told to make installabe CD (Auto executable) and should create an icon automatically on the desktop of the user who is installing the CD. I am just creating a batch file which creates myprg directory on C drive and unzips the executable along with the dbf structures.
