Launch the game maximised if shortcut properties say so

[wodim]

You can create a shortcut to wow.exe and configure it to launch maximised in the shortcut properties sheet. If you do that in the vanillafixes.exe shortcut, it doesn't work; the wow window is created restored. I know it's not a "bug" in the traditional sense of the word but it would be nice if it worked.

Not sure if this can be fixed. I assume Windows is looking for a window created by VanillaFixes.exe, but since the launcher exits and launches WoW.exe the shortcut properties aren't carried over.

You can use GetStartupInfo, and from the STARTUPINFO structure get the wShowWindow member and put it here https://github.com/hannesmann/vanillafixes/blob/d9242b23889d4123aedb74ea4e1e4b969ef8ab8b/src/launcher/launcher.c#L44

(I haven't tested this, I just did some googling)

Makes sense, I think you could use the nCmdShow parameter of wWinMain too. I'll look into this later but if you want to fix it I'll accept a PR.

I would've liked to send a PR but setting up the build environment would take me some time for a minor fix like this :) Thanks for looking into it.

I haven't tested this but it should work: https://github.com/hannesmann/vanillafixes/raw/shortcut-properties/bin/VanillaFixes.exe

Works fine. Thank you
