It is likely that the window is opening very small or off the screen
(perhaps behind the task bar). Do NOT use the Maximize option. A
Maximize does not get remembered. Instead move/resize the window and
then close it. That will get remembered.
To get a window back on the screen, try this:
- Use Alt/Tab to make it the active window
- Press Alt/Space to get the control window for that application
- Press M to select the Move option
- Now you can use the arrow keys to move the window around the screen
to get it properly in view
- Press the Enter key when the window is where you want it
If you need to resize a window, but can't use the mouse, try this:
- Use Alt/Tab to make it the active window
- Press Alt/Space to get the control window for that application
- Press S to select the Size option
- Now you can use the arrow keys to resize the window
- Press the Enter key when the window is the size you want it

Post by HarpsWhen using OE6, whenever I open a 'create mail' or 'new post' window,
it opens in a minimized size and I have to always click on the full
screen icon in the top right hand corner of the window. It is quite
annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be
fixed?
Only a minor thing I know but just wondering if it can be cured. Thanks.
