Adobe Reader 7.07 starts in small window
I am running Adobe reader 7.07, when I open a PDF file, adobe always starts in a "small window". I realize all I have to do is click on the maximize button, but it's just annoying the heck out of me. Is there a way of starting Adobe reader in a maximized window. I went thru the same garbage with IE but found a quick fix for that on-line. Because I am annoyed at this problem I will give 500 points for a quick fix... thanks

I just tried to open the same document directly (instead of using the hyperlink) and it opened in a full sized screen. With it being a given that it's the hyperlink in excel that is telling it to open in a smaller window, is there a way of changing the hyperlink to force it to open in a full window? Thanks
I know how to force Internet Explorer to open in full window
Modify the registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\In
Try it for Adobe. I do not know of a way to do same with Adobe window, if the above registry edit does not work.

could you post the exact hyperlink(right click -> copy shortcut). Im pretty sure there is a way to pass the window arguments in the hyperlink. However, if the hyperlink points to a webpage you don't have contorl over, then you will need to get them to make the modification.

the hyperlink is just pointing to a file on a different drive on the server, in this case it's located on the d drive of the server. the hyperlink is simply //server/d/s123456.pfd . I created the excel spreadsheet so our parts department could quickly access the drawing of the components, without having to search thru several drives and folders looking for it. Thanks

mluther223,
Check the Preference menu in Adobe. It should have an option to open a maximized window.
