Found this elsewhere.
Hope it helps you, it did help them.
the sim does default initially to "full screen" so find in FSX.cfg
[main] section and look for (probably this)
Maximized=1
change to either
Maximized=2 // maximized window
or
Maximized=0 // resore size window
You might also search for the line in the cfg that starts with
Situation=something,something
comment it out so the game starts with the original defalut flight (if it doesn't already)
//SITUATION=C:\Users\Dad\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\alt_default
you may also want to try starting the flight directly without going through the create menu:
[STARTUP]
SHOW_OPENING_SCREEN=1
and change to
SHOW_OPENING_SCREEN=0
Save and restart sim
