How to get VLC to maximize when it starts playing

Postby prr » 26 Nov 2011 19:00

I have noticed that when VLC is already open, but minimized, and I click on a video file, VLC will play it, but it will not maximize to my screen, but stay in the task bar. Is there any option to check somewhere that can correct this? It doesn't merely open up behind other programs, but it remains on the taskbar. I can minimize every other window and there is still no VLC showing the video, but clicking on the icon in the taskbar will bring it up immediately. I'm running Windows 7.

AFAIK there isn't any option for that.

OK, I've noticed that OpenOffice has the same problem, which might suggest that its a Windows issue, but then again, MS Office 2010 doesn't have this issue, and I know I've gotten other media players to appear like I want.
