>>_SCREEN.WindowState is not always reliable. Besides, why would you want your app to open minimized, anyway?

As Ed said, you can store the preference somewhere (table, ini, or registry) and re-set it at runtime as described. You can do the same for other things like position, height, width, as well, which you can pick up at closing.

I prefer a local table myself (a little simpler) for most if this information (and especially when I get locked out of the registry :), but all these methods are valid.
