Hi, thanks for reply Ok, i get another Tablet from same maker, this one is 7" 1280x800 (my tablet..phone is 5" 800x480), and same problem About VirtualPC, for one second, when open, the size is the correct, and then, maximize, then i have a micro-second to capture jaja About Foobar, i think keeps the size and position the software itself, because when it open for a second the main window is maximized, and then return to normal size It happen to all software that save size/position in the ini, open maximized, and then return to normal size I updated windows and same problem For now i tried 1 - My tablet 800x480 and second tablet 1280x800... both do same... maximize all windows 2 - Update windows 8.1 3 - Check with msconfig and regedit, no software doing strange stuff from maker Nothing I dont have Windows 8.1 to install in my PC and test.... it happen in all windows? besides my tablet, i never use 8.1 in any other PC, thats why i ask EDIT: A good example, is the Street Fighter 4 launcher the launcher need to look like this, a small window in middle of desktop... But, looks like this... maximized to full desktop.... This is not correct or normally POSSIBLE to do, because the window have no maximize button!! (this on 1280x800 tablet)

Yup, i made the theme, to mimic old Windows. The default 8.1 look is ugly like hell But is the same with stock theme, no difference Just to check there is not a problem from something i did, I make a factory reset, but same problem, every window is maximized with a clean window I check with msconfig if there is any software that made this, but nothing, i check with regedit same but i dont see nothing abnormal In desktop im a XP user, thats why my knowledge of 8.1 is still limited, i dont have 8.1 in any other PC to test, just in tablet

Update the main post, with images, i think is easy to see the problem Any ideas? this "feature"...ejem... prevent me to use windows 8.1 normally, because two old software i need to work, hangs Thanks!

Hi !! sorry my english I bought a Windows 8.1 tablet, and im happy, but I have a problem Every windows is maximized . Every time i open a new application, open maximized, even if the program dont have any maximize button It seems like windows "force" every windows to maximize Not only explorer windows, everything.. for example, VirtualPC, instead of open in a normal window (the tablet have a resolution of 800x480) I get a maximized window, even is obvious that the virtualPC dont have any maximize button, or is possible to do in normal way Any ideas? This is a problem, because some times, this "feature" hangs some old software, like Paint Shop Pro Thanks to all

Ok, finally i discover where is the common dialog toolbar bitmap The file name is comctl32.dll... but no the one in system32, but one locate... hidde.... in WinSxS folder

Hi!! two questions, im a little lost. Im using XP 64bits 1 - There is any way to hide the task switch in taskbar? Im using Truelaunchbar that have a much better task manager, and i want to hide the window one And ... 2 - Im getting crazy to change the common dialog buttons. In Xp 32bits is easy, but in 64bits i havent found where... im tired of open dll... jeje Thanks!!

Hi, something that I hate from 7 is when i do the logon, for 1 or 2 seconds, screen do a fade to black, and show desktop Ayone have any idea hot to disable this? And other, is how i can get the old, 32x32 icons? I say in normal icon view Thanks
