i have windows 2000. "hydravision individual application settings" is a
window you get when you click on the arrow in the upper right hand corner of
the express window, next to the maximize, minus and x buttons. it appears
one has to be an administrator to change anything in it.

your solution worked and many thanks! i now remember many, many years ago
having to do this instead of the maximize button.

what does ms-mvp mean next to your and pabear user names? are you guys
microsoft-credentialed experts? he helped me on a error msg problem which
was driving me crazy.

thanks again to you and pa bear for your help on problems, big and small!

What is hydravision? What is your Windows version? (i.e. XP/SP3, etc.).

Grab the corners of the window and drag it to full screen size. Do no use
Maximize. Close all other windows first and this one last. Windows will
remember the *last* screen size used the next time you open the program.

this is kind of a basic question, but when i boot up outlook express 6,
the
window is often reduced rather than full size on the monitor.

also, when i open a message, the window is always reduced to small and
narrow requiring that i expand it.

i have looked in tools and hydravision (all its boxes are shaded and
inaccessable) and can't figure out how to default to the larger window
size
all the time, booting up and reading msgs.

thanks for your help.
