We have Office 2000 and an NT network. On one particular station, when the user receives and email attachment (in this case, it was a *.jpg file), the associated app launches but remains minimized in the task bar. The only way to open the associatedapp is to right click on the minimized app and select maximize. How do you fix this?

This kind of problem occurs if Windows was shut down with an application minimized without being closed properly. The best thing to do is to maximize the application close it using the 'x' button, then go to the attachment and re-launch it. It should open maximized rather than minimized. Windows remembered the application's last open state as being minimized because the application was not shut down before the Operating System’s previous shutdown.
