Re: Force all Windows to Open Maximized

Good for you ........nice to have choices, but I don't agree with "work
arounds". I like to be able to learn how to make something work it's best,
not leave standing as a mystery. Of course, to each his own. ;)

I like the fact that IE is integrated with OE. I use the "mail"

I am still a Windows "learn to use all the applications that are
integrated" type person. I also teach people how to use Windows both
in their homes and via Remote Help. Firefox is just a work-around
for power users and beginners. It's not a fix, it's not integrated,
and it's third party. ;)


I don't see it like that at all. I don't care whether an application is
"integrated," I don't think it matters whether it's a fix or not, and I have
no problem with using third-pary applications (in fact I use many of them,
sometimes in preference to Microsoft applications, other times because
Microsoft doesn't even compete in that category).

I believe in using the best tool I can find (and afford) to do the job to be
done, without regard to whether it's a fixx, integrated, or third party. All
of those things are completely irrelevant, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't happen to use Firefox, because I prefer another third-party browser,
Maxthon (it actually runs as a shell on top of IE).
