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
