One way to do this is to push the command AWSMAXIMIZE at startup. You could place this statement in your autoexec.sas

dm "awsmaximize";

I was also able to do this by editing the start menu entry and adding to the end of the SAS command: -initstmt "dm 'awsmaximize';"

I forgot to add you can also push commands to maximize the program editor. See the doc link and related commands. – John Leveille Sep 02 '13 at 20:22

Not sure if you can do this automatically at startup, but you can set a hotkey to do it.

Tools -> Options -> Keys

Choose a key and type this into the command:

AWSMAXIMIZE ON; WPGM; ZOOM
