keyboard shortcutsshortcutswindowswindows-explorerwindows-vista
I've right click -> properties a shortcut icon and i set it to run "Maximized" instead of run "Normal"
However, when i run the shortcut (chrome shortcut) it still opens chrome as "normal" and not maximized..
How do we fix this windows bug?
If this info is required: I'm using 32-bit Widows Vista Home Premium SP2 v6.0.
There is a problem with focus. If you want create new folder via button or shortcut, your focus must be in folder/file list.
From what it looks like, Chrome has a separate way of handling the keyboard shortcut. Trying this on XP, certain applications are opening new instances however most are not. I think it has to be coded into the application to handle the signal differently.
In Windows 7, there is an easy way to open multiple instances of an application though. Simply hold Shift and click on an existing instance of the application in the taskbar.
You could also use AutoHotkey for this. Simply map the shortcut to run the executable:
^!t::Run C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe
Make sure you've disabled the shortcut in Cygwin's shortcut properties first though. You'll need to change the executable path according to your environment.

Try this:
Right-click the shortcut > Properties > Shortcut tab > Target
After the closing quotes, type a space and enter
-maximized.Click OK and try your shortcuts again.

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -maximized
