open files in full-screen mode/maximized (script?)

Does anyone know if there is a way to set photoshop CS2 to open files maximized, or to maximize all open files at the same time? In other windows apps (like excel) when you maximize one of the open files, it maximizes them all. This doesn't work in CS2. It used to work in CS and previous versions. So is there some script that I can use to automatically open files in full-screen view, or to set all open files to full-screen view?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
You can make Photoshop automatically switch to Full Screen mode on opening new images:

1. Start recording a new action
2. In the Actions palette menu, select "Insert Menu Item" and (while "Insert" dialog is on) pull down View > Screen Mode > Full Screen Mode (or "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar")
3. Stop recording action.
4. Pull down File > Scripts > Script Events Manager
5. Check "Enable Events..." gadget (at the dialog's top)
6. Click "Actions" radio button (at the bottom) and select your action set and "full screen" action
7. In the "Photoshop Event" menu choose "Open Document" item
8. Click "Add" button
9. Click "Done"

Here are two scripts that I wrote:

Thank you both. This seems to work about the same as maximizing the images. Thanks again.

is there a script to go back to standard view on close?
