How to start Maximised

[Sarmajor]

Being an old wrinkley I have been driven up the wall by Utorrent starting minimised. I start it up and wait eons for the main page to show until I remember that it is minimised and then I click the icon in the tray. One completely unnecessary step and some delay in activating.

I note that there is a method of starting the program minimised (add /MINIMIZED to the command line) but a search of properties and the registry does not show such an addition on my shortcut or registry.

I have tried adding /MAXIMIZED which is not recognised.

I would assume that starting maximized is the default given the above option of being able to minimise it on the command line. Perhaps some earlier installation may have set this - as I have been using various versions of Utorrent over some years

I have searched extensively to find a way out without success.

Can anyone help me to start Utorrent maximised as my whole intention of starting it is to load a fresh torrent

Thanks

Use the shortcut you run to set the maximized mode. AFAIK uT starts up in whatever state it was when it was closed...

That is the trouble I cannot get a shortcut to open it maximised

When I close the main page (by clicking the X at the upper right hand side) it defaults to the tray and I then shut down the program from there.

Next time it starts it starts minimised

Perhaps I should unclick the close to tray option and the minimise to tray one.

Should I do both and just use the top right hand buttons to minimise and close the program?

All you really need to disable is "close to tray". When your window IS maximized, and you close it it should close right away. Additionally after you start uT again (from the shortcut on the dresktop/quicklaunch/start menu) it should open up maximized again.
