Cetin,

Its not set to minimise on the short cut menu. I tried the right mouse click on the taskbar and move with keyboard without success.

I have tried everything to get the main Visual Foxpro Window into 'normal' state (that is not minimised or not maximised). This includes changing properties such as 'ShowWindow', 'WindowType' and 'WindowState'.

I wonder if VFP somehow got confused when I installed it. Do you know if this can happen? Or does anyone know if this can happen?

The only alternative is to re-install and see if that fixes the problem.
