In 2000, and in XP, my windows sizes never, ever stay maximized. They always open up to half the screen size. Ths is very annoying. I have done all I could (I am the ADMIN of both system). I have tweaked and resized all I know how, but nothing ever stays maximized. I have to keep doing it (clicking the maximized button) to every window that I open.
I know it is not corruption on both systems because they are both fresh installs.
Please help me and tell me what I need to do.

You've probably already tried this, but I offer it just in case... Open a window, maximize it, open Tools > Folder Options >View tab, and click on the Like Current Folder" button. Then close the window & open it again to see if it is still maximized. That usually works. If not, maybe someone can come up with a trick we can both learn.

Sorry, but I have tried that but not only does it not work all the time for all windows, but even if it does, it is not fully maximized. I need to find a fix to make all my windows fully maximized when I open them.

Try using the start command and /max to maximize the prefered Application.

Also works good on startup if you want a particular program to be last displayed menu or screen.
