1) The splash screen displays fine it is the actual game screens that do not come up properly.
2) Once the files are associated with Stars! 2.70j and I double click on them Stars! still only takes me to the splash screen and does not open the files? Strange.
Thanks anyways. I guess I will just continue to maximise the window everytime I start Stars!

Perhaps, if problem is only with Stars.exe and not other programs then maybe you have a problem with the stars.ini file in the windows directory? Doesn't that file remember the size/layout of your game screens also? You could rename it to something else like starsxxx.ini or something. Then run Stars and it will create a clean one. But you have to enter your serial number when it does this. You can always delete the new one and rename the old one back to stars.ini again.
The m# file that is associated with Stars is in a different directory where the game files are? If so it should run the game and not the splash screen, I would think. I always put each game and its files in a separate directory to make it easier to keep track of files later.

Try deleting your stars.ini
Stars will create a new one automatically...of course you'll have to set the layout etc again..and stick in your code...and don't forget to add newreports=1 etc to the ini file.
I renamed my stars.ini and it reset the window position & size.
