Expand the YouTube Video Player to its Maximum Size Without Full Screen

When we expand the YouTube video it covers  entire desktop area and all existing windows on the screen stay hidden as long as you are watching the video is this "maximized" state.

Here is a simple trick , just replace the word "watch" in the URL of any YouTube video with "watch_popup" and the video will expand to fit your browser window, not the desktop

For example original  YouTube video is located at

Change it to http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=XkgMSCD-sDY  and watch it
