This will not work for many programs, I am afraid, since programs often override this setting.<br />
However, if you maximize a window and close it, the program will remember it was maximized and restart maximized.

Nothing works for every program, but many will work setting the shortcut. Others will remember the window size. But there is no universal standard or method. <br />
<br />
Please try a few and let us know what you find.

If you mean a shortcut to a file that opens an application, no, that will never work unless the application itself opens full screen.<br />
<br />
However any normal shortcut to an application should work. <br />
<br />
Did you try &nbsp;McKnife's suggestion of opening an application, making it full screen, and closing. <br />
<br />
Some applications (QuickBooks) are particularly difficult to manage this way.
