[SDL] How to maximize window at Windows startup

[Brian]

If you want your program to be the only GUI, for exampe a GUI kiosk of
some sort, try replacing explorer with your program. Obviously if your
program is for use on a normal desktop you wouldn't do this ;)

In the hurried search I did before sending this I found only 2 links.
Perhaps google will smile on you.

Of course this may not be what you are doing at all. Its just an idea though.
