From: Morris on 24 Feb 2010 12:56 I'd like my notepad to open a file with the following characteristics(automatically upon launch): 1. The window is maximized and occupies the whole screen. 2. The view would roll to the end of the file Is it possible and how? Regards Morris

From: ybS2okj on 24 Feb 2010 20:33 It is possible to do point 1 but not point 2. To do point 1, open Notepad and then with your mouse expand it by dragging the sides and corners of the notepad window until you have got the maximum size. Don't use the maximize icon (the middle icon on the right upper corner of the windows) because it doesn't do the job on some systems. Point 2 can't be done because if the file is empty, the default is to go to top left corner of the window and so you can't manipulate it unless you enter manually some line feeds by pressing ENTER key. hth <Microsoft Valuable Pirates have run out of ideas and so their only solution is to scan and re-scan the system with all anti-virus software on this planet> "Morris" <imorris(a)automail.com> wrote in message news:uRSaJqXtKHA.5148(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I'd like my notepad to open a file with the following > characteristics(automatically upon launch): > 1.

The window is maximized and occupies the whole screen. For "a" file, create a shortcut that runs notepad.exe and specifies the file as a parameter. If there are spaces in the path to the notepad.exe file, enclose the command within double-quotes. Same for the parameter if there are spaces in its path (even if there aren't spaces, adding the double-quotes won't hurt). Then edit the properties of the shortcut to open a maximized window. > 2. The view would roll to the end of the file That would require sending the Ctrl+End keystroke combination to the program after it loaded. You will need some background utility that sends keystrokes to programs when they load, like AutoHotkey or AutoIt. |
