Taskbar hidden by maximized windows

Has anyone come across an issue with maximizing windows and having them cover the taskbar? I'm finding it horribly annoying that when I maximize my window, it hides the bar and I then have to minimize the window to say... switch applications or look at the time... the list goes on and on... I've tried several different solutions, some claiming to enable a "always on top" solution, but that still wont make it stay. Does anyone have any tips or ideas? Im seriously about to reinstall just so I dont have to deal with the issue anymore.

No taskbar on win-key is a sure sign of file damage. SFC will fix that. If not, you are probably seeing a resource problem with the Aero theme. Video drivers are the usual suspect there.

Adobe 9 always opens in a Maximized window

Hi
When opening a link in Internet Explorer 6 that opens a pdf, the pdf file opens in a maximized window. When clicking on a pdf file on the computer it will always open in a maximized window.
I have gone into the properties for Adobe and made sure that it is run in a Normal Window.
I have gone into edit > preferences and have not found any options where you can select whether to open in maximized window.
Is there a way to specifiy whether to open the files in a maximized window or, as in this case, to open the window in normal/restore down view.
Thank you
Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm having the same problem using IE 8.
Did you ever get a resolution for this? I see no one ever responded to your post.
Thanks!

Open web page from URL iview in maximized window

Hi,
I would like to open a web page in a <b>maximized</b> browser window, using an URL iView.
I know how to open a window in a separate window, I just can't get it maximized.
N.B. I do <b>NOT</b> want to open in <b>fullscreen</b> mode, i.e. I want a title bar and menus.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried to play around with the "window function" property of the iView, but no luck so far. I can't specify a fixed width and height of the target window at design time, as these values may vary at runtime.
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
Yes, That will require Java Coding, Its true. Basically what the problem here is that to maximize we are trying to fetch the Screen resolution dynamically through Portal that Portal is not allowing us. Thats why I feel that we should go for Java Programing, Create a Par, Deploy it in the server and then create iView for that.
For Creating the Abstract Portal Component for Opening a Maximized Window You should do following steps.
1. Open Your NWDS
2. Create a project ie Portal Application
3. Create Portal Object ie Abstract Portal Component.
Now here is the piece of code that may help you
          response.write("<SCRIPT language=javascript>");
          response.write("function onOpenWindow()");
          response.write("{");
          response.write("window.open('http://abc.com','windowName','width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight,resizable=yes')");
          response.write("}");
          response.write("</SCRIPT>");
          response.write("<a href = \"javascript:onOpenWindow()\">abc.com</a>");
Paste this code in doContent...
I think it may help you
Thanx & Regards

Compiled executable does not open in maximized window

I have attached a JPG showing the VI Properties that pertain to Window size. Despite the fact that I have indicated in Run-Time Position - Position: Maximized. The compiled executable does not open in a maximized window.
Even stranger, if I take the shortcut for the program and change it's properties (on the target machine) to Open Maximized, it still doesn't open maximized.
I have had this behavior with every compiled executable for a couple of years using versions of LabVIEW 8, 2010, 2011 and currently 2011 SP1. Both the compiling machine and the target machine are Windows XP.
Is there any explanation for this behavior? Any way to correct it?
Solved!

I think Ravens Fan is correct. The aspect ratio appears to take precedence over the window position.
You can set a property manually in your code to maximize the window.

XI Pro, Excel 2013, Win 8.1: Opening a pdf embedeed in Excel starts Acrobat in Maximized Window

I am embedding (Insert/Object/Adobe Acrobat Document) pdf's in an Excel spreadsheet.
I'm using the option to show the pdf as an icon.
That all works fine.
When I double click the icon Acrobat is starting in a maximized Windows window.
It is filling up my entire monitor with Acrobat.
Normally when I start Acrobat it takes the window shape from the last time I closed it.
Is there any way to control the Window size when opening a pdf from inside Excel?
Thanks.

In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked

In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked.
Is this this the intended behavior? And if so is there any way to disable it?
Thanks

Middle-clicking a tab closes it, while middle-clicking an empty area of the tab bar opens a new tab.
Different behavior is probably caused by a tab-related add-on like Tab Mix Plus. If you're not sure if you have such an add-on, restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and check if the problem still occurs.

Open pdf in maximized windows

In Adobe Reader XI how I can always open the PDF files by default in maximized window?

Guys,
There is a simple workaround for this. Just DON'T "Display PDF in a Browser". At first I was going to have all the users in my company Right-Mouse Click and Save PDF to their Desktop. But then realized it's just simpler to have the PDF open in the Reader and it gets around the problem fine. This is a great workaround until the whole Windows 7/IE8/Adobe PDF situation mature a bit.
In case you forgot the instructions from John, here's how:
Open Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (Pro):
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> UNCHECK the "Display PDF in browser"
This worked for our company. Hope it works for you.

Powerpoint in maximized window, when de machine is starting up from batch

Powerpoint Viewer is starting the slide show in a default screen which is not maximized and a task-bar, where you manualy can set maximized continuously presentation.
How can I fix this ?
I don't want to do anything, after I power-up this PC, so does anyone has a good, simple and working solution ?

Maximizing windows looks strange in Gnome 3.2

Since I upgraded to Gnome 3.2, maximizing windows looks really strange (the left and top border of the window is cut off).
I have set everything to default in the gnome tweak tool. What do you think causes this?

Opening maximized window from embedded flash movie

Hi!
I need your help!
I have a html file with a flash movie-menu embedded into it. I'd like one of the buttons to open an external html page strictly in a new maximized window. It does not matter if the new window has toolbar or not. I want it to open a new maximized window (not the full screen thing) onclick.
How can I achieve this?
thank you!

use the javascript window.open method to open your popup and set the page dimensions.
you can use getURL or navigateToURL() to execute a javascript function or better use the externalinterface class to call a javascript function in your embedding html file.

Stalonetray no longer stays behind maximized windows after update

I only use a systray app like stalonetray to use the Network Manager applet and it stayed behind maximized windows until I updated my Arch and stalonetray to 0.8.2.1 and now stalonetray occupies window space even when applications are maximized. I haven't changed the .stalonetrayrc config file. Here it is:
background "#000000"
decorations none
dockapp_mode none
fuzzy_edges 3
geometry 1x1+0+1
grow_gravity W
icon_gravity W
icon_size 32
log_level err
max_geometry 0x0
no_shrink false
parent_bg false
skip_taskbar true
sticky false
tint_color black
tint_level 0
transparent true
vertical true
window_layer bottom
window_strut auto
window_type desktop
What should I change?

Hi,
I made a test on our test machine, "Find partial matchs" option was moved indeed. It should be moved in Windows 8.1 by design. However, I think "Find partial matches" was checked by default in Windows 8.1. So, user doesn't need to check them manually.
I made a test on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. A folder contains some subfolder.We can get the same result when "Find partial matchs" was checked in Windows 8.

Access Time Machine´s hidden files in Windows

Does anyone know how to access Time Machine´s hidden files in Windows? I tried using MacDrive v7... but in its help files... it says that the app itself (MacDrive) will not show files on a Mac-formatted drive, partion, volume, etc. if MAC OS X itself intentionally hides certain files. Confused?
If MAC OS X hides files in the Time Machine hard drive, MacDrive will hide them too.
I want to access some of my documents that are on my Time Machine external hard drive on my Windows computer.
Why? I took my Time Machine hard drive with me out of the country.

Are you anywhere near a place that sells Macs? If so, you might see if they will copy the files for you. A university might be another place to check to see if they have any Macs or anything running Unix and would be willing to help you out.

Save/Restore Window content when hidden by other window

I developed a swing application under UNIX/Linux.
I have the problem, that the window content is not saved, when the window was hidden by another window. As soon as the swing window becomes (partly) visible again, paint() will be called, instead of restoring the previous content.
I know, that the XServer has this possibility to save the window content. How can I configure this behaviour under Java/Swing?
I tried do emulate this behaviour by first drawing into an offscreen buffer and then place this buffered image onto the frame, but it takes a lot of time and results in undesireable delays.
Thanks for any idea,
Alex.

I would most like suggest that you open a support ticket. It sounds as though something is wrong with the rendering output. You shouldn't really be able to create such an incorrect rendering situation in the closed Web Dynpro framework.
