If you are using ntemacs and want to maximize
window,the following can do it.

(when (eq system-type 'windows-nt)

  (defun defun-w32-maximum-frame ()
    ;; Change the current frame size.
    (setq w32-frame-maximum nil)

    (defun w32-maximize-frame ()
      "Maximize the current frame"
      (w32-send-sys-command 61488)
      (setq w32-frame-maximum t))

    (defun w32-restore-frame ()
      "Restore the current frame"
      (w32-send-sys-command 61728)
      (setq w32-frame-maximum nil))

    (defun toggle-frame-size ()
      "Toggle frame size."
      (interactive)
      (if w32-frame-maximum
          (w32-restore-frame)
        (w32-maximize-frame)))

    (global-set-key [?\C-\S-z] 'toggle-frame-size)
    (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'w32-maximize-frame) 
    )

  )
