If the program does not have a built-in option to launch in maximized mode, you can try using a batch file or a scheduled task in Windows 10 to achieve this. Here's how you can do it:
Option 1: Using a Batch File
1. Open Notepad or any other text editor.
2. Type the following command in the editor:
```
start /max "" "path_to_your_program\Progressbarsoflife.exe"
```
Replace "path_to_your_program" with the actual file path of the program.
3. Save the file with a ".bat" extension, for example, "launch_maximized.bat".
4. Double-click the batch file to run it. This should launch your program in maximized mode.
Option 2: Using Task Scheduler
1. Open the Start menu and search for "Task Scheduler", then open it.
2. Click on "Create Basic Task" or "Create Task" in the right-hand sidebar, depending on your version of Windows.
3. Follow the wizard to configure the task:
- Give the task a name and description.
- Choose "When I log on" or "When a specific event is logged" as the trigger, depending on your preference.
- Select "Start a program" as the action.
- Click "Browse" and locate the program's executable file.
- Choose "Run whether the user is logged on or not". This will allow it to run even if you're not logged in.
- Enable the checkbox for "Run with highest privileges".
- Under "Settings" tab, check "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed".
4. Click "Finish" to create the task.
5. Restart your computer and check if the program is launched in maximized mode.
Using either of these methods should help you achieve your goal of maximizing the program when it launches.
