Check the WIN.INI for a line that says: Run=

It should be near the top of the file.  If there is anything in there, the
program manager will be minimized ** IF ** the program manager has the option
"Minimize on Run" (or something like that) set on (checked).  If this
combination is not set up on your system, then try this:  

When you exit Windows, make sure the Program Manager is set up the way you
want it to look when you restart windows later...  then Exit Windows, and
make sure the "Save Current Settings" (or whatever it's called) prompt is
checked with an "X" in the box.  This will bring it up the way you want
every time, ** UNTIL ** you exit with that "X" in the box with the Program
Manager different. 

Good luck!
