When it comes up minimized simply drag it out to it's full size by placing your cursor on either the edges or the corners and when the cursor changes to a different style simply left click the mouse and holding the button down drag it out to the size you want. Now close the window and your system should remember the last setting. If you right click a desktop shortcut and then choose properties on the shortcut tab to the right of the run line you will see and arrow, this is the drop down list for your choices. Click it and you will see that one of your options is maximized. Choose that and when this program begins it will always be full screen. Then if you want to minimize the window or reduce it's size once it is open simply click the double â–¡ in the upper right of your screen. Good luck.
