Windows 7 well, this is annoying....

[paradive]

while downloading a pic, i accidentally maximized the file-destination window.

now it's stuck at full-screen every time i go to download something.

it won't let me resize it and there's no maximize/half-screen-whatever button on the top right corner.

ideas?

When you accidentally maximize the file destination window while downloading a file, and it gets stuck in full-screen mode every time you try to download something, it can be frustrating. Here are a few ideas to potentially resolve this issue: 1. Restart File Explorer: - Sometimes, restarting the File Explorer can help in resolving window size and position issues. You can do this by: - Pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager. - Under the Processes tab, locate Windows Explorer, right-click on it, and select Restart. 2. Reset Window Size and Position: - You can reset the window size and position by: - Right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting Task Manager. - Finding Windows Explorer under the Processes tab, right-clicking on it, and selecting End Task. - Click on File in the Task Manager, then select Run New Task. - Type "explorer" and press Enter. 3. Use Keyboard Shortcuts: - Try using different keyboard shortcuts to control the window size and position: - Press Win + Up Arrow key to maximize the window. - Press Win + Down Arrow key to minimize the window (if it's maximized). - Press Win + Left Arrow or Win + Right Arrow keys to snap the window to the left or right side of the screen. 4. Use Snap Assist: - You can use Snap Assist to resize and position windows: - Drag the stuck window to one side of the screen until it resizes. - Once it resizes, Snap Assist should appear, allowing you to place the window on the desired side of the screen. 5. Change Screen Resolution: - Adjusting the screen resolution temporarily can sometimes reset window sizes. You can do this by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting Display Settings, and changing the resolution. 6. Create a New User Profile: - If the issue persists, creating a new user profile can also help in getting rid of window-related problems. Try these steps sequentially and see if any of them help in resolving the issue with the stuck full-screen window while downloading files.
