I want the window to max to full screen while loading. Is there a command for it, and where do I put it?

If I understand what you''re asking, then use WS_MAXIMIZE when doing the CreateWindow() or CreateWindowEx() function.
You can also use ShowWindow with SW_MAXIMIZE. But if you want it maximized from the very beginning doing it at CreateWindow time like SiCrane mentions is better.

Awesome, works like a charm. Thanks again.
This seems kinda odd.. the max works, but the 'X' on the top-right corner is cut off by half. I try to adjust the screen but it's still cut in half no matter what I do. Any idea? Seems like it's just my computer, but I'm wondering if anyone has the same issue.

EDIT: I have to click the max button in order for the X to be seen fully. Shouldn't it automatically do this when i call WS_MAXIMIZE?

How it looks like after executing...
