All shortcuts now open in normal window size

My Dad called with a problem and to be honest, I'm stumped.
He states that "all of the sudden" when he opens any
desktop icon, the app opens in a small normal window,
however they used to open up full screen.

I'm not aware of any system-wide setting that would
suddenly change this for all the icons at once.

Any thoughts?

Do not use the maximize button. Grab the corners of the window and drag it
to full screen size. Close the program using the red X in the upper
right-hand corner. The next time you open the program, Windows will remember
the last screen size used.
