I just want to make a simple Notepad .bat file that would maximize a specific process window. Is that possible?

If you want to maximize an already-running program/window you can try with windowMode.bat using its title (or a string that the title starts with):

@echo off
call windowMode -title "Notepad" -mode maximized

Or with its process id:

@echo off
call windowMode -pid 1313 -mode maximized
