Outlook Opens Minimized

Ran in to this strange issue today. a User was complaining that outlook would start minimized. We were able only able to have it reappear by using task manager to maximize the application. I was able to open Outlook without any issues starting it in safe mode (Outlook.exe /Safe). Upon ruling out that shortcut was not set to start minimized and that no COM add-ins were causing the issue , I did a quick search and found in an MSFT TechNet post from Rob Kubben to remove the Frame registry key located in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\\Outlook\Office Explorer].
Upon restarting Outlook it opened maximized and would remember its last window size properly.
