Beginning with Emacs 24.4 either run Emacs with the @samp{--maximized}
command-line option or put the following form in your init file
(@pxref{Setting up a customization file}):
Run Emacs with the @samp{--maximized} command-line option or put the
following form in your early init file (@pxref{Early Init File,,,
emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
@lisp
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'toggle-frame-maximized)
@end lisp
With older versions use the function @code{w32-send-sys-command}. For
example, you can put the following in your init file:
@lisp
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook
(lambda () (w32-send-sys-command ?\xF030)))
@end lisp
To avoid the slightly distracting visual effect of Emacs starting with
its default frame size and then growing to fullscreen, you can add an
@samp{Emacs.Geometry} entry to the Windows Registry settings. @xref{X
Resources,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}. To compute the correct
values for width and height you use in the Registry settings, first
maximize the Emacs frame and then evaluate @code{(frame-height)} and
@code{(frame-width)} with @kbd{M-:}.
Alternatively, you can avoid the visual effect of Emacs changing its
frame size entirely in your init file (i.e., without using the
Registry), like this:
@lisp
(setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)
(set-frame-position nil 0 0)
(set-frame-size nil (display-pixel-width) (display-pixel-height) t)
(push '(fullscreen . maximized) default-frame-alist)
@end lisp
Note that while some customizations of @code{default-frame-alist}
could have undesirable effects when modified in @file{early-init.el},
it is okay to do it in this particular case.
