Prevent Windows Explorer Window from Maximizing on Vault Log In

Former Member

We have several Vaults configured on our server.  When a user double-clicks the M-Files drive, then double-clicks the Vault they wish to access, the Windows Explorer window automatically maximizes (full screen).

Is there a registry setting that can prevent this behavior?  Most of my users have two monitors and their windows laid out to suit individual preferences, and the window maximizing automatically is an unexpected behavior for the operating system.

    There's a feature in M-Files 10 which causes the window to maximize when you enter a vault. To prevent this the following registry key can be applied:

    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Motive\M-Files\\Client\MFShell\NonVaultSpecifics
    Value: MaximizeWindow (DWORD)
    0 = prevent maximizing, 1 = allow maximizing
