New Window arriving 'minimised'

Hi

Everytime I used the shortcut - 'open in new window' - the new window arrives in a minimised version.

This only started recently and is annoying to have to use another mouse movement to maximise the screenshot.

Any quick fix anyone???

regards

I've had the same problem - I've tried all the 'fixes' (registry editing, opening closing windows etc) but nothing worked.

So short of reloading XP I went with 'New window maximiser' from jiiSoft - its free and it works - what more can I say.
