I have not been able to get any settings to work under the Window tab of a shortcut Properties. I'm trying to use custom settings/Maximized to desktop. But none of the settings appear to work. It won't work when I edit the shortcut properties under Windows, or when I use the Ultramon Shortcut directly.
Windows 7 64-bit, Nvidia GeForce card.

What's the application you're trying to maximize to the desktop?

At first I tried my actual custom exe application. When it didn't work I tried explorer.exe and notepad.exe. No joy.
(My video card is Nvidia GTX470.)

Notepad works fine for me on 64-bit Windows 7, do you get any errors when launching the customized shortcut, or does Notepad just not get maximized to the desktop?

The window opens to its last size and position, and the cursor shows an hourglass for about 5 seconds, and then goes to the regular cursor. Nothing else happens. If I would open the regular program (not using the shortcut) everything is the same except no hourglass. It doesn't matter which window setting I use.

I'm not sure what might cause this, could you send me the .umshortcut file for Notepad to support@realtimesoft.com?

I too am having troubles with the UltraMon - Window tab of shortcut properties on Windows 7.
This development laptop is Windows 7 Home Edition 32-bit with an additional external monitor.
I've appled properties to multiple Windows Explorer shortcuts that each have a different directory location coded in the target, e.g. "%windir%\explorer.exe .e,C:\svn_root"
However it seems Windows 7 overrides UltraMon's placement efforts in all cases.
In addition - I've tried placing those shortcuts into the Windows 7 gadget "App Launcher v3" and it doesn't work that way either.
I would like to be able to have different shortcuts that go to the 3-4 different directories that are used most often, and be able to place those windows at specific screen locations.

Unfortunately UltraMon can't position Windows Explorer windows, this is due to the way Explorer handles multiple instances. Currently there is no fix for this.
