Why Windows 8 (like Skype) applications open in full screen?

I wish that applications Windows 8 is displayed in a window on computer laptop or desktop PC so that they can be freely resized and placed. "TechnoMage" said it can be done http://www.forumswindows8.com/general-discussion/how-make-apps-not-open-full-screen-7435.htm but I have not found how to for the Windows 8 Skype application.

Thanks for your ideas, Pierre KOHLER

Hello!!!

  1. Windows 8 comes up with a different interface two one is the version of classic office who use us for most & second start screen (Interface Metro) version
  2. If you want to use Skype (freely resized version) you can use Skype client for desktop computer rather than use the splash screen that is displayed full screen with no options Minimize & Close.
  3. Applications of screen Windows 8 start cannot be reduced to a minimum, as we do on desktop

    Any window that you want to resize all the time must be the last closed window.

    Open an e-mail message and enter the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

  • Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  • Windows restarts after updates while runing mode full screen

    Dear,

    I have a problem with the windows updates.
    Whenever windows installs a new update, if I'm running a full-screen application or a full-screen application, restart windows all of a sudden without giving me any notice.

    I need to stop this, without stopping the automatic updates.
    What should I do?

    Is it possible to make files always open size full screen in Vista?  It's a setting that is easy to do under XP, but he continues to annoy me in Vista, as some setting I try, it always opens with persistence in a small window of default size, and I have to click to maximize.

    I use Vista Ultimate with a score of 5.9 Windows experience.  I have the Radeon HD 4870 x 2 graphics card and a monitor ViewSonic 21 inches, both with drivers signed to date.

  • Why large images will not open in full screen on first click?

    I'll open an image (jpg, png) that has a size in bytes of 2000 x 3096. What ends up happening, is that it is initially open a window full screen, and after a second or two, this window full screen will be reduced to a window screen. Now, I have to click on the maximum window size button in the upper right to expand the window to full size, click with the right button on the image, select Image seen on the menu drop down and then finally click on the image so that it can display in its original size.

    Y at - it a plug-in or a config. setting I can use, so that the image opens in the mode full screen from the beginning?

    Is it with a link to the opening image of a web page or to view pictures that you have already stored on the computer?

    You can check the problems caused by a corrupt localstore.rdf file.

  • How to get Skype calls to overlay full-screen games in windows 10

    Hi.Here is my problem: in Windows 10, while I'm in a game session full screen, if someone calls me on Skype, instead of a small window centered to answer the call on the current game I get a black screen. In windows 7, it wasn't the case, I could just answer of in the game, just by clicking on the small window that overlayied the game and continue playing happily. I know that it's more a problem of Windows 10, but if we could get Skype to work stacking game would be nice, especially since a black screen on you the current game session is very dissruptive.

    Well, I tried anyway, but I don't think it could be fixed, because in windows10 any notifications get you a black screen, in some cases, it crashes the game (all within a game fullscreen).

  • Why is my PDF invisible except in Mode full screen?

    After copying pages from a PDF into a second PDF, the second PDF file can only be displayed using the full screen. I am able to open the document very well with a web browser or read it in the Mode full screen. I would like to be able to see it using normal page view so that I can highlight text, which cannot be done using the full screen.

    What happened twice with two different documents - once a few months ago and once earlier. I copied pages of dozens of times without problem since the first time I had this problem, so I'm not sure what's going on with these two files. A I flip a switch or something, and if so how do I flip it back?

    Thanks for any idea!

    Hello MegDC,

    Please open the PDF Document (file-> properties) Properties dialog box and tab select "Initial view".

    Uncheck 'Open fullscreen mode' option under the Options section of the window, save it and then restart Acrobat.

    Kind regards
