(Windows version number = 1903)
When I run notepad, I always have to maximise it, before I start using it.
If I then close it, then reopen it, W10 'forgets' that I've set notepad to maximised, and I have to maximise it again.
Of course, I have tried manually moving the size of the notepad window, to maximise it that way, but W10 doesn't remember this size setting either.
Thanks a lot for any comments.
Hi,
You can set the shortcut to open Notepad maximised.
Always Open Shortcut as Normal, Minimized, or Maximized in Windows 10
Reset Notepad Default Open Position and Size in Windows 10
Other option to try:
NotePad opens saved files minimized
Right click a notepad file. Choose "Open With" > tick "always use this app" then > "More Apps" "Choose another app on this PC"
Instead use the line:
Right click a notepad file. Choose "Open With" > "Choose another app" > tick "Always use this app" then >"More Apps" "Look for another app on this PC"
Browse to notepad.cmd and select it.
Or just install DocPad (free) and use that instead:
DocPad - the completely free text editor for Windows.
Thanks a lot.
I wonder if someone could please just add to the help so far, because I have this related issue:
I have a notepad.exe shortcut on my desktop, that "points" to a particular notepad file.
If I go in to the properties for this shortcut, I can't see where I tell W10 to open the window maximised.
Thanks.
Note- Run Maximised
I also see Notepad not remembering to start maximised, whereas Wordpad does.
Sorry!! I have made a mistake! It is not a shortcut, but an actual notepad file itself, eg "my document".txt
sorry for the confusion!
