maximizing windows

I have two applications running in my XPe system, neither of which can be
automatically maximized. One application is opened from the other. The
application that does the opening is a custom application I had written. The
application being opened from this is an external custom application (i.e., I
was not involved with its development). I can manually maxmize the apps.
once they start running. But I can't set it to automatically do it by
right-cling on the .exe or its shortcut (the Run->Normal/Minimized/Maximized
option). I suspect I am missing a component in my XPe build. Does anyone
know which component is involved with dealing with this?

Background: I develop on a cPCI target computer running Win2K. Even in
this environment, I can't automatically maximize the apps. Perhaps the
problem is not with my XPe build, but my applications. But, I feel it's
still a worthy question. It is important enough that these apps. be
maximized.

TIA
 
Only thing I can think of is to write something using the WinHook API
to watch for the second applications window being opened, and fire it a
maximise command
