For example, if I do not have I.E. (or other)browser open, and I click on my Google tray-icon, it will open minimized, but if IE is open (maximized), and I click on it, it will open maximized. If it doesn't, the "open and then close" routine will work . . until I exit IE . . then it won't work anymore. So how do I get Google to open maximized without having to have a browser open???

My problem is that I have a program that updates files, then runs my game. My game is what I would like to run maximized. The program that preforms the updates has a place for me to enter a Additional Arguments (IE: -opengl). Is there such a command I can enter? This solution works great if you are using a shortcut.
