See the chapter on Runtime Environment in the manual.
|maxima-init.mac| is a file which is loaded automatically when Maxima
starts. You can use |maxima-init.mac| to customize your Maxima
environment. |maxima-init.mac|, if it exists, is typically placed in the
directory named by |maxima_userdir|, although it can be in any directory
searched by the function |file_search|.
For me on Windows:
(%i1) maxima_userdir;
(%o1) "C:/Documents and Settings/dabilling/maxima"
Just create a file named |maxima-init.mac in the appropriate directory
containing the line
display2d:false
