OLEXP: Maximized Message Window Is Not Saved (264781)






This article was previously published under Q264781

SYMPTOMS

When you open a new e-mail message in Outlook Express, it opens in a minimized view.

If you click the Maximize button, the message window resizes to a full-screen view, but Outlook Express does not save the view for subsequent windows.

CAUSE

Outlook Express has a default e-mail message window size that is smaller than full-screen view.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, drag the message window edges until the window is the size that you want, close the message, and then reopen the message.

MORE INFORMATION

When you click the Maximize button, the window is maximized for that instance only; the setting is not saved for subsequent windows that you open.

When you manually resize the window by dragging the edges, a registry entry is created that saves the settings of the resized window.
