Maximize/Minimize Application Window in NX Question 2

[Bwsh]

This probably is the dumbest question to ask, but I am going ask anyway.
I minimized the application window(say in modeling) to let say 2" x 4". The reason was to quickly using the Snipping Tool in Windows to get the screen shot of the model that I need to send to a customer. I think I didn't re-save the file since no changes were made.
The next time I open any NX files(drawing, modeling, manufacturing), the application window always is in 2" x 4" size, not the maximized window that should be.
I couldn't figure out where the settings that I messed up or something.
Any helps are appreciated.

Using NX 10.

Maximize the window; subsequent files will open with a maximized window.

Yes, that's correct. But then, if I close NX and re-start NX again, the 1st file I open still in minimized window.

Works for me, but then I'm still on NX 9...

I am on NX 10.0.3.5.
Or I am the only one has this issue due to some setting changes that I am not aware of.

 

[Arkance/PhoeNX]

The position & size of windows is stored in the Windows Registry.

Use the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and delete the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\10.0\Layout

The image below should explain what I mean. Make sure NX is closed before doing so.

Thank you Anthony!!
That fixed the issue.

Could User Interface Preferences, Save Layout at Exit be the issue?

NX 9.0.3.4
NX 11.0.2.7 (Testing)
Windows 7 (Windows 8.1 Tablet)

If, as Phillpd says "Could User Interface Preferences, Save Layout at Exit be the issue?"
Is toggled off, NX will not save the window size at exit. ( It must have been ON to save the 2x4 when that happened.)

We used in our training facilities turn this setting off after a initial start. ( - the students where using the same user account on that specific computer)

Probably, in the example that Anthony shows above, it could be sufficient to delete the key "Main" from the right panel.
( NX will create new keys upon the next start.)

Regards,
Tomas

Phillpd, that could be the issue. I checked the User Interface Preferences, the Save Layout at Exit box was toggled on. I toggled it off the box for now.
Thank you guys for the feedbacks.

In the User preferences there is also the possibility to reset the window position. This should do the trick as well.
