First of all you have to create a shortcut to the FAR manager on your Windows desktop.There are two very easy ways to make the FAR manager always start in the maximized window: 1. I could not find any settings within FAR manager to make it always launch in the maximized mode, so I figured out some of the tools provided by the Windows operating system itself to make it run maximized always. Even though this works, it became annoying after a while. After installing FAR manager on my Windows 10 PC, I encountered a small annoyance – whenever I launched it, it always started in the normal small window and I had to use the hotkey Alt+F9 to switch to the maximized window.
