shortcuts run “Maximized” and run “Minimized” don't work?

Question

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.

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.

Example:

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

	I see. I'm running Windows 7 Ult. I used to have the same problem with Chrome. When I hit the shortcut, it doesn't open maximized. When I added -maximized, it fixed it for me. – Kaze May 31 '11 at 8:40
