vlc starting up minimized - dont want that

I am executing the command:
c:\program files\videoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --quiet -I dummy --stop-time 300 http://someIP:8154 vlc:quit

from within my program to startup vlc.

On one particular XP pc vlc is starting up minimized. Can I for it to maximized ? Not fullscreen just maximized.

This is not happening on a second PC that is also running windows. I have a 3rd PC running win2K that
also opens and runs just fine.

How can I ensure that vlc always opens up and is not minimized?

Thanks,

Jerry

I did settings - > preferneces -> reset all, click OK and closed VLC.
Re-ran my appliation that starts VLC and it was still minimized.

Good suggestion. Might you have another?

Thanks,

jerry

I took DRASTIC measures.
uninstalled vlc, tried to even remove remaining directories under videlan, it would not let me,
rebooted, then removed the remaining directories,
re-installed
ran it and it works just fine now...
