Isn't the whole point of the Windows operating system that the user can 
control the size of any window used by a program?  Does Lotus Approach 
disable this facility?  (I've never used it.)

I have a suggestion.

Get a second PC which will run the "Professional" version of your chosen 
MS Windows OS.  Connect it to your LAN.  Enable and configure the 
"Remote Desktop" function so you can run it "headless".  Install Lotus 
Approach on that PC.

Now from your large screen PC run the Remote Desktop client and specify 
its window size to be whatever will work with Lotus Approach.  You can 
now drive Lotus Approach in this "Virtual Desktop" and have the 
remainder of your screen real estate available for other work.
