Fullscreen on Windows?

I am currently running GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 on Windows.  Is there any way to get it to run fullscreen?  Thanks in advance.

First of all, please ask questions that are specific to MS Windows on 
the help-emacs-windows list. I am cc-ing my answer to that list.

There has been a decision that Emacs 22 (it is not yet released) should 
not support maximized windows. The reason is that the code for this is 
untested and the developers does not want to delay the release of Emacs 
22 more than necessary.

However if you look at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsW32 
you can find links to a patched version that does support maximized 
windows. So far I have only seen very minor problems with it.

??? Really?  It works for me if I invoke Emacs with the --fullscreen
command-line option.

That window (Emacs frame) is not maximized. If you look at the bottom of 
the screen there might be a few pixels missing. And you can move the 
window. You can not do that with a maximized window.

Please see the archive on the devel list for the discussion of this. I 
think I sent a patch for it too. (But that is a bit incomplete.)
