How to turn off maximizing other documents when opening a new word
Here's your fix, if you dont need it anymore then may it benefit some other poor soul.
You can fix this problem by blocking Word from using DDE to open files. In the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open key: Delete or rename the ddeexec sub-key In the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\comm and key: Delete or rename the command value (not to be confused with the command key.) Edit the (Default) value and add "%1" (including quotes) at the end This solves the problem for .docx files. If you also want to solve it for .doc files, do the same thing for Word.Document.8 Thanks go out to Joel Spolsky who posted this answer on superuser.com http://superuser.com/questions/19586...-on-a-doc-file He plucked this GEM off of the website below. http://www.withinwindows.com/2008/08...dows-part-one/ C_LOS On Friday, March 12, 2010 3:13 PM Witold wrote: When you have a few word documents minimizes and you open a new word document, one of the minimized documents maximizes too.
