Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1
Illustrator CS6 16.0.3, 64bit
Over the past weeks, opening any Illustrator file (.ai or .eps) from Windows Explorer resizes the main illustrator window. The window "restores down" from my maximized view that I always run. This does not happen when I use the File > Open command from AI. Using File > Open, the AI window remains maximized and my artwork file opens in a tab (my preference).
It's really just a nuisance, but it's wearing thin now. More frustrating, this behavior only started a few weeks ago (been running CS6 for a few months.)
I found a post describing similar behavior from the CS3/2008 era... The fix is a workaround. Lots of complaints about this historically... with plenty of comments like "I hope they finally fix this is CS4."

How may I fix this behavior without writing a batch file and making Registry edits (per 2008 post)?
