   HAH!, I found the secret. Just DELETE the sInitialShape entry, and the   
   system goes back to the default operation. It doesn't seem to matter    
   what fMaximize is set to. It does look like the default for fMaximize    
   is "1".   
      
   I got that information by looking at a newly installed system, where    
   it had never been changed. My problem is solved, I hope this helps    
   someone else.
