XPS Viewer EP - How to Maximize the Viewer on Open

Both XP/Vista
Concern: XPS Viewer EP (set as default, on opening XPS files)

I can mazimise on open the shortcut XPS Viewer EP, however anytime I click
on a XPS file, it opens in a normal windows. Moreover, Windows XP/Vista
remember the last window size, XPS Viewer does not.

Anyone to help me opening XPS files in the XPS Viewer EP Maximized on Open
(file option, registry?),

Thanks

 

Create a shortcut, and put it in the Quick Launch area. Give the shortcut a
command something like:

<path>XPSViewer.exe %1

Rightclick to set the Properties of the shortcut to 'Run' maximized

Drag your *.XPS file onto the shortcut

Thanks for the tip Mark.

I am looking to OPEN .XPS files in a maximized windows--or in a window of a
greater size of the original viewer--from their respective folders.

I have a large collection of XPS files to open/close manytimes a day, so
dragging is not the fastest way.

Anyone?

Yeah it really stinks that they made it so the window won't stay
maximized.

I know this doesn't answer you question but one thing that may help if
you have a lot of files in the same folder is to click on the first one
that you want to look at and of course use the maximize window button in
the upper right. But instead of hitting the red "x" button in the
upper right to go to the next one, you click on the file folder icon in
the upper left and then a list of all the .xps files in the current
folder shows. You can then click on the next file file and it will open
maximized. You can't see the dates of the files, but you can sort to
date order.

Ooops! You can see the dates, all you have to do is change the view to
the one that shows the dates. Stayed that way after re-boot.

That question was asked OVER A YEAR AGO, you dummy.

 

Well eff you, Bill Daggett. I would think that the longer a question is
unanswered the more important it would be to answer it, even if only
partially. For your information, I was well aware of the date of the
question.

Do you work for STINKO Microsoft or something? Get a life!
