Tom,

Another useful trick is to create a shortcut to a program you use often. 
Three neat things about shortcuts:  (1) they're easier to find than going 
through the Start menu, (2) you can define hot keys for them so you won't 
even have to look for them on your desktop, and (3) you can specify that 
they always open the program with a maximized window.  BTW, you can also 
create shortcuts for often0used folders, and the same rules apply.
