How to maximize the 4D Client application window on Windows

Is there any direct way to get 4D Client to launch on MS Windows with its application window maximized?

I know of two indirect ways:

(a) Property on shortcut to .exe

If you make an shortcut to the 4D Client program, then you can set a property on the shortcut to maximize the app window on launch.

This property does not exist on the .exe itself, at least not in the GUI that I can see. I wonder if there is some behind-the-scenes way to get Windows to maximize the app.

I have set this shortcut property when using MacInstallerBuilder (yes, Mac) to build a Windows installer for the 4D Client.

(b) Use the excellent Win32Api plugin.

Any other ideas?
