Bernie,

Not sure what version you have, but for example if you have Office XP goto:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\C ommon\HelpViewer

Add a DWORD value named "IsFloating", and enter a value of 1, and select
hexadecimal. If the "IsFloating" value already exists, then modify it's
value to equal 1. Restart Excel and VBA.

Does that fix your problem?

How can I have Excel default to Maximized windows when I start Visual
Basic and/or
the Help Window?

Thanks,
