This I learned today through powershell.com. If you want to open a notepad or iexplore, or someother application in maximized or minized or restored mode, you can do that easily with Powershell.

To open a process in maximized mode, use this.

Start-Process notepad -WindowStype maximized

To open a process in minimized mode, use this

Start-Process notepad -WindowStyle minimised

To open a process in restored mode

Start-Process notepad -WindowStyle normal

To open a process in hidden mode

Start-Process notepad -WindowStyle hidden

You can query and kill all these processes at one shot by using below command

Get-Process -Name Notepad | Stop-Process

Hope it is useful to you.
