Can Emacs set itself into full-screen mode under MS-Windows when starting?

Interesting!  Why didn't I see that one coming..?

I tried this and got an interesting result.  I generally start Emacs as
an X client under Cygwin on MS-Windows.  When I started "emacs -mm",
Emacs came up in (I think) full-screen size, but it was partially
off-screen, so I had to reposition it and hit the Maximize button
anyway.  I suspect that there is a mismatch between Cygwin's Emacs
24.3.1 and the X-Window interface under Cygwin.

Anyone else notice the problem?

Maybe you can try these:
   --fullheight, -fh               make the first frame high as the screen
   --fullscreen, -fs               make the first frame fullscreen
   --fullwidth, -fw                make the first frame wide as the screen
   --maximized, -mm                make the first frame maximized
