If a Solid Edge file is opened via another program the Solid Edge Window will not be opened maximized. Can this be controlled via Windows?
Solution
When opening Solid Edge directly from the desktop or indirectly by double clicking model files from Windows Explorer it reads the Show Value of the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Siemens\Solid Edge\Version 220\General\Position" for the initial size state as follows:
0 = restored
1 = minimized
2 = maximized
If Solid Edge is opened programmatically (e.g. via automation) and is explicitly opened in a particular state, there is no way to override those settings.
If you have access to the source code of any macros that are being used (e.g. OpenSave source is provided), the following snippet will open Solid Edge maximized:
' Make Solid Edge full screen objApp.DisplayFullScreen = True
' Make Solid Edge visible. objApp.Visible = True
Please bear in mind that manual editing of the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Siemens\Solid Edge\Version 220\General\Position" is unsupported.
