FQA 9 is good for win98.. I am running Win XP and there is no run drop down list on on any of the tabs that show when you right click on the desktop icon.

ok, let's clarify this
I didn't mean to right click on the desktop icon itself.
Create a shortcut to 2x on your desktop (or wherever you find convenient) and right click on <i>that</i>. From the context menu select <b>Properties</b>. Look for the <b>shortcut</b> tab and there you'll find a <b>run</b> box whose default value is <i>Normal window</i>. You need to change that to maximized.
I have never used XP, so perhaps the names of the boxes/tabs will be different, but i'm sure you'll find a box whose contents are <i>Normal window</i>; that's the box you need to change

I do not recall how I made the icon on my desktop, but when I right click on it, I do not have a "shortcut" tab. I deleted the icon, and created a new one and made sure that when I draged the icon to the desktop.. I picked the "create shortcut" option. Now I get the "shortcut tab" and the pull
down RUN menu and can pick the maximum option. Thanks for your help.
